Morocco’s Ministry of Agriculture has issued a tender for a comprehensive study to reform the country’s Agricultural Investment Code — a foundational legal framework that has governed irrigation, land tenure, and private investment incentives in the sector since its adoption in 1969. The study carries a budget of 5.64 million dirhams and must be completed within eight months. The reform study will unfold across three phases. The first involves a detailed inventory and diagnostic of all applicable agricultural legislation, with particular focus on identifying obsolete provisions and implementation gaps. The overhaul is designed to align the Agricultural Investment Code with the objectives of the Green Morocco Plan, the Generation Green 2020-2030 strategy, and Morocco’s New Development Model — modernizing a legal foundation that, while still central, has long needed updating for the realities of 21st-century agriculture.
