The Minister of Agriculture, Maritime Fishing, the Development of the Village, Water and Forests, Ahmed Al -Bouari, put an end to the political controversy linked to allegations concerning the exhaustion of national agriculture of the water brush, stressing that the export of agriculture consumed only 5% of the balance of national water, which is a recovery in the years, he said.

Bouari revealed in a program without language of wood, broadcast by Radio Mid Radio, that the agricultural treasures area represents only 1% of the total agricultural area of ​​our country, or 5% of the watering area at the national level, which is estimated at 1.6 million hectares.

In the same context, the Minister of Agriculture stressed that Morocco imports 9 billion cubic meters per year of water through agricultural products, and it receives only 500 million cubic meters, which concerns products such as tomatoes, peppers, avoca, strawberries and clusters of the cluster after imposing restrictions on this agriculture.

Bouari explained that our country imports 60 to 70 million quintals of grain, stressing that a hectare of grains consume 3,000 to 4,000 cubic meters of water. He added that “the production of imported pills requires about 8 billion cubic meters of water, if Morocco wants to produce it locally, which is not available”, as it said.

He continued, saying that the Ministry of Agriculture, Maritime Fisheries, the Development of the Village, Water and Forests has a clear vision of using “additional irrigation” in the Buri areas, which will, according to the Minister of Agriculture, recover around 30% of the grains that are lost due to the delay in the rain.

Bouari stressed that national agriculture is “a victim of investments related to water, which were not completed at the time”, adding that most of the water from the dams is directed to drinking water. And he gave the example in the city of Casablanca, who said that his residents drink water from the Mars dam, instead of leading to water the agricultural areas of the Doukkala region.
