Wheat Environment Wheat in Morocco Bread wheat > 2M ha, durum wheat about 1M ha Major staple, consumption: 220 Kg/cap/yr. Wheat grown in rainfed / drought-prone areas; sown in autumn Highly variable precipitation pattern and large inter-annual fluctuations. Wide regional variability Production constraints Water is the main constraint and is affecting all stresses Good years stresses Waterlogging related root rots (e.g. Pythium root rot) Yellow rust and leaf rust Septoria, spot blotch, tan spot Hessain fly, sawfly End of season heat Dry years stresses Water stress Hessian fly Dryland root rot (incl complex of species of Common Root Rot and several species of Crown Root) Yellow rust and leaf rust Heat Description of the value chain 1.2 Million producers, 300,000 market oriented Profitability (500 US$ - 2000 US$ / ha) Industrial millers: 211 units (143-bread wheat, 58-durum wheat, 19-barley) capacity 9,1 Million MT. Small millers 10,000 units 35% of volumes Information extracted from presentation of Dr. Nsarellah Nasarellah at Wheat for Africa conference: Status of wheat production and food security in Morocco from CIMMYT, Int.
