The Moroccan government has temporarily banned the export of onions, potatoes, and tomatoes to African countries to address the surge in the prices of these commodities in local markets. This decision has been met with opposition by Moroccan exporters, who argue that it will damage their reputation and disrupt their commitments to partners. However, the government has permitted trucks with tomatoes already at the Guergarat border crossing to pass. A commission will be set up to evaluate the impact of Moroccan tomato exports on local market prices in sub-Saharan Africa.
