According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Morocco is projected to become one of the top six wheat importers in the world in 2024 due to a significant decrease in domestic wheat production caused by severe climatic conditions. The country's wheat imports are expected to increase by 19% to 7.5 million tons, making it the sixth largest wheat importer globally. This trend is reflective of the broader challenges faced by Africa in wheat production, with the continent experiencing above-average temperatures and rainfall deficits that have negatively affected crop yields.
