Morocco agrifinance demand assessment<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Morocco\u2019s agriculture sector contributes 19% of the country\u2019s GDP and employs about 45% of the workforce (i.e. about 4 million people, including about 100,000 in agro-industry). Agriculture remains traditional with a prevalence of smallholder farmers, and the percentage of commercial lending to the agriculture sector remains low despite the existing modern banking system.<\/p>\n

ACS was contracted by International Finance Corporation (IFC) to provide an informative assessment of the financial services available and expected for agricultural value chain players in Morocco; the estimated demand, innovations, and likely developments in this area; and the impacts of COVID-19 on access to finance to agricultural sectors and the proposed solutions to overcome existing barriers given current mobility restrictions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
