HIBAPRESS – A. Mahyawi
As part of the ongoing preparations for the 18th edition of the International Agriculture Exhibition in Morocco, organized under the high patronage of King Mohammed VI, Abdelghani Essabar chaired an expanded meeting this Tuesday, March 10, 2026, dedicated to discussing the organization of this important international event in the city of Meknes.
The meeting was attended by various security and local authorities, in addition to the head of the Meknes Prefecture Council, heads of the concerned municipalities, and representatives of the participating external administrative departments. The Governor emphasized the great importance of the exhibition, as an opportunity to enhance the gains of the Meknes Prefecture nationally and internationally, and a window for exchanging experiences and showcasing Moroccan agricultural products. Abdelghani Essabar called on all attendees to fully engage within the organizing committees, which were formed to ensure the success of the event, provide support, and take the necessary measures to prepare the city to receive visitors in the best conditions. These committees include: green spaces, roads and signage, public lighting, cleanliness, decoration, health prevention, and animation. During the meeting, the Deputy Delegate of the International Agriculture Exhibition in Morocco presented a detailed presentation in which he reviewed the results of the previous edition, performance indicators, in addition to the developments and arrangements for the current edition, with a focus on the qualifications and important agricultural resources that Meknes and its surroundings possess. It is worth mentioning that the eighteenth edition will be held from April 20 to 26, 2026, and will host Portugal as the guest of honor, under the slogan "Sustainability of Animal Production and Food Sovereignty," in a move that aims to strengthen Morocco's position in the agricultural field at the regional and international levels, and to expand the horizons of agricultural cooperation with international partners.
