Market Report, "Morocco Agribusiness Report Q2 2015", published

Morocco's agriculture sector holds significant potential, particularly the dairy, poultry and sugar industries. The dairy sector benefits from growing interest from international dairy companies and is likely to enjoy strong growth in the coming years. In the livestock segment, we expect increased government support and investment - backed by strong domes tic demand - to help the industry to develop. However, the lack of investment in modern infrastructure will hamper production growth in the short ter m. We expect long-term production growth in the country's all important grain sector due to government support, but even with the record crops in 2013/14 the country remained a net importer. We expect this to continue over the long term.

Key Forecasts

* Wheat production growth to 2017/18: 33.9% to 5.2mn tonnes. This will come on the back of steady growth in the country's wheat demand, a result of strong economic growth. Increased planting and productivity gains will also help to support output. The spectacular growth rate is due to based effects following 2012/13's drop in production.

* Corn consumption growth to 2018: 17.3% to 2.5mn tonnes. Demand growth will mainly be driven by a steadily expanding domestic livestock sector.

* Milk production growth to 2017/18: 23.0% to 2.9mn tonnes. Sustained growth will come from the commercialisation of the dairy sector and the move to large-scale mechanisation. These trends will be enforced by rising consumer demand for value-added marketed dairy products

* 2015 r eal GDP growth: 4.0 %, up from 2.6% in 2014. We forecast GDP growth to average 3.8% between 2014 and 2018.

* 2015 c onsumer price inflation: 1.8 % average, up from 0.4% in 2014.
