In Morocco, a six-year drought has taken a toll on the country's agriculture sector, particularly impacting farmers who grow cereals and grains essential for both human and livestock consumption. The diminished harvest this year is projected to be smaller in volume and acreage compared to the previous year, leading to unemployment among farmers and an increased reliance on imports and government subsidies to stabilize staple food prices.
Climate change is exacerbating the situation, with hotter and drier conditions affecting crop yields globally. In North Africa, irregular weather patterns and delayed rains have disrupted the growing season, making it challenging for farmers to plan effectively.
