Under the supervision of Minister El Skhouri… Moroccan agricultural workers return to the fields in Spain

A new group of around 400 Moroccan seasonal agricultural workers left the port of Tangier for Spain yesterday, Friday. This operation was supervised by the Minister of Economic Integration, Entrepreneurship, Employment and Skills, Younès El Skhouri.

El Skhouri and the Spanish delegation, as well as the female beneficiaries and the main stakeholders of this operation, discussed the mechanisms and ways to improve the procedures for monitoring seasonal agricultural workers, responding to their needs and opening new perspectives to strengthen cooperation in this project.

This operation is part of Moroccan-Spanish bilateral cooperation and the continuation of travel of seasonal agricultural workers for the year 2024 from the port of Tangier city to the port of Tarifa. This initiative aims to provide seasonal employment opportunities in the agricultural sector in Spain to nearly 16,000 Moroccan women from rural areas across all regions of Morocco.
