Regarding the leasing of agricultural land under public-private partnerships, this concerns long-term leases (17 to 40 years) intended for agricultural projects, subject to a specific set of requirements. These lands, which belong to the State’s private domain, are leased through calls for tenders launched periodically by the National Agency for Agricultural Development on its official website: www.ada.gov.ma.
You are therefore encouraged to regularly consult the website to stay informed about new opportunities in the available land portfolio.
The consultation regulations for each call for tenders detail the conditions, procedures, and criteria set by the Administration for selecting the bidder who will enter into a partnership agreement with the State.
New Generation Solidarity Agriculture projects target small farmers and livestock breeders, as well as rural youth and women living in oasis, mountainous, arid, and semi-arid areas. To benefit from these projects, applicants should contact the territorial services of the Ministry of Agriculture operating in their area (Regional Directorate of Agriculture, Regional Directorate of Agricultural Advisory Services, Regional Office for Agricultural Development, or Provincial Directorate of Agriculture) and submit an official application. This application will be reviewed as part of the programming of upcoming Solidarity Agriculture projects.
If you farm a small agricultural area in an oasis, mountainous, arid, or semi-arid zone, you may benefit from support within the framework of Solidarity Agriculture.
The proposed support mainly includes the planting of fruit trees and the distribution of seedlings, the development of water points and hydro-agricultural infrastructure, the establishment of value-addition units and agricultural tracks, as well as advisory, training, and capacity-building activities.
Livestock breeders may also benefit from support under the development of animal production value chains, such as the establishment of milk collection centers, fattening units, rangeland improvement, and zootechnical support.
Agricultural cooperatives can engage directly with the Ministry’s territorial services to express their needs. They may benefit from targeted support such as equipping value-addition units, constructing production facilities, as well as receiving technical and organizational assistance.
These forms of support aim to strengthen governance, sustainability, and competitiveness of cooperatives in rural areas.
Young farmers or livestock breeders can benefit from agricultural development projects focusing on plantation, livestock farming, or the valorization of products. For unemployed youth, Solidarity Agriculture offers opportunities for inclusion and empowerment through the establishment, for the benefit of youth cooperatives, of income-generating activities (IGAs), technical and financial support to agricultural and para-agricultural service cooperatives, as well as training and coaching actions to strengthen their entrepreneurial skills.
Rural women active in agriculture or livestock farming can benefit from support like that provided to small farmers, particularly in the areas of production, value addition, and marketing. Women who do not yet have an activity can benefit from economic empowerment initiatives under Solidarity Agriculture, aimed at strengthening their inclusion and financial independence. These initiatives include, among others, the establishment of processing and value-addition workshops for products, support for the creation and strengthening of women’s cooperatives, and the development of income-generating activities that promote their economic and social integration.
