Morocco and Türkiye have finalized negotiations on a revised list of Moroccan agricultural products proposed for export to the Turkish market, according to Moroccan news outlet Hespress, with the matter expected to be settled at a joint economic forum in Istanbul.
The joint economic forum is scheduled to take place on Nov. 28 in Istanbul. The event, known as the Türkiye–Morocco Business and Investment Forum, will bring together officials and business leaders from both countries.
The report confirmed that progress is positive and that the joint economic forum between the two countries, scheduled for the end of this month in Istanbul, will settle the matter and provide final clarity.
The sources stressed that Ankara intends to grant preferential treatment to a number of Moroccan agricultural products in the Turkish market, following the consultations that remain ongoing between the two countries in this regard.
The report says that more than 200 business leaders from both sides are expected to attend the upcoming economic forum between the two countries, during which Morocco plans to present a detailed overview of investment opportunities and the incentives offered by the Kingdom to encourage foreign investors to invest in the country.
It confirmed to the newspaper that the Moroccan Confederation of Agriculture and Rural Development (COMADER) has joined the process.
The matter is expected to be the subject of a series of meetings with officials from the agriculture, trade, and industry sectors, as well as other stakeholders, before finalizing the list and entering negotiations with the Turkish side through a joint committee established by both countries.
The same sources reported that exporting sugar to Türkiye is among the prominent options on the list of products Morocco is expected to propose for boosting its exports to the Turkish market.
It is worth noting that Moroccan imports from Türkiye continue their upward trajectory, rising in 2024 to 39 billion dirhams, compared with export levels that did not exceed 11.6 billion dirhams during the same year.
