Morocco's agricultural turnaround

Morocco's agricultural turnaround

After seven years of brutal drought, Morocco expects a huge boost in cereal harvests this year-nearly 9 million tons, more than double last year’s-thanks to heavy winter rains. Agriculture is vital there, accounting for 12% of the economy and employing a third of workers, so this recovery is a relief, though the same rains also caused deadly floods. A stark reminder of how climate extremes are hitting harder. https://www.arabnews.com/node/2640778/middle-east

Vital sector getting a break. Hope the benefits reach the rural workers who need it most. The climate paradox is real though.

Double the harvest? That's huge for the economy and so many families. Hope the recovery lasts.

That's some amazing news after such a long drought. The resilience is incredible, but those floods are heartbreaking too. Climate extremes are really hitting hard.
