Date shop traders flooded the markets with imported foreign dates, taking advantage of some facilities provided by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, which allowed imports to cover the recorded shortage.
This case prompted local date producers to sound the alarm and seek help from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, where the Association of Date Producers of Morocco sent official correspondence demanding protection of local product.
The association called on the ministry to intervene, because the importation of large quantities of dates floods the Moroccan market and puts the local product in unfair competition, which requires reassessing date import policies and determining their quantities on Moroccan markets in order to protect the national market. product.
