After years of launching the slogan "Made in Morocco," accompanied by decisions and measures aimed at strengthening local manufacturing and boosting national production, an industrial sector related to aluminum and copper faces challenges that raise questions about the outcomes and prospects of this experience.
In this context, Morocco had taken measures, including prohibiting the export of aluminum and copper scrap abroad, as well as enabling companies to receive financial support to develop their industrial units and produce high-quality sheets of these two metals, a move aimed at enhancing the added value of raw materials and encouraging local manufacturing.
However, circulating data today speaks of the cessation of operations of some industrial units, while others face the risk of bankruptcy, amid talk of a European rejection of Moroccan products due to their poor quality.
These data revive the debate about the effectiveness of public support directed to the sector, compliance with the quality standards required in foreign markets, and the necessity of evaluating the results of the industrial policies pursued to ensure the continuity of factories and enhance the competitiveness of Moroccan products.
