Morocco is Africa’s largest exporter of cannabis, mostly hemp for industrial purposes. However, cannabis reform has faltered with record crops and lower prices, prompting traditional growers to call for a legal domestic adult-use market to be legalized. Aurelien Bernard, Founder Newsweed 24 January 2025 at 12:30:00 This report from Newsweed published 9 January 2024 As the first year of legal hemp production ends with a substantial harvest of 4,000 tonnes (including all the plants and not the final product), legal Moroccan growers are now faced with the reality of the market and the inadequacy of infrastructure. The production of legal cannabis, which is in excess of demand, has led to a fall in prices, with some growers selling their harvest for as little as 80 dirhams (8 euros) per kilo. At this price, many cannot cover their costs. This economic pressure is compounded by the limited number of processing plants capable of converting raw cannabis into medical or industrial products, which leaves much of the harvest unsold. Insufficient demand and structural challenges In 2024, Morocco issued 3,371 cannabis cultivation permits under Law 13.21 , which authorizes the production of cannabis for medical and industrial purposes. Despite these efforts, farmers face obstacles in selling their production due to a lack of investors and buyers. Charif Adraddak, president of the Moroccan Observatory for Cannabis Regulation, explained to Hesspress that farmers must sign contracts with purchasing companies to participate in the regulated system. However, the small number of these companies creates bottlenecks, discouraging many growers from entering the legal market. Moreover, Farid Ahithour, president of the Tizi Ifri cooperative, estimates that "around half of cannabis growers have not yet moved to the regulated market", largely due to systemic and regulatory obstacles . Ahithour warns that the situation will get worse if more farmers join the regulated system without increased investment and infrastructure. Even with 700 investors, he says, current production levels would remain unmanageable. This stagnation has led many growers and activists to call for broader legalization that would include recreational and traditional use of cannabis. Calls for legalization of recreational and traditional use Growers and activists say legalizing recreational and traditional cannabis use could ease market pressures while bringing economic benefits. Adraddak highlights the rich history of informal cannabis use in Morocco, particularly in the northern regions. Drawing parallels with regulated cannabis spaces in countries like the Netherlands and Spain, he asks: “Why wouldn’t we have regulated spaces like cannabis cafes or clubs?” Such measures could not only boost domestic sales but also attract tourists, especially as Morocco prepares to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup. Ahithour stressed the need for the government to take into account the preferences of international visitors. “Why not provide safe, regulated places where [cannabis consumption] can take place?” he suggests, noting the potential for economic growth driven by tourism . Without immediate action, the promise of a thriving cannabis industry may remain elusive, leading many to question whether current policies can truly support the long-term viability of the sector. # NEXT PREVIOUS Cannabiz Africa Weekly Newsline The Business Of Cannabis Free every Thursday.

CANNABIS INDUSTRY BREAKING NEWS Morocco: Growers Call for Recreational Cannabis to be Legalized as Hemp Stockpile Mounts and Prices Drop

How HEMP is Used in our Daily Lives Clothing & Accessories Textiles and fabric use Hemp seed oil Detergents and soaps Printer ink Wood preservative/finish Hemp Cosmetics The hemp plant produces leaves and stems that are rich in strong fibres that are more durable and more absorbent than cotton and provides better ultraviolet (UV) protection. Hemp is one of the strongest available natural fibres and can be used to produce a wide range of textiles. Typically, the fibres are separated from the stem of the plant through a process known as “retting”, after which they are spun together to form a continuous thread that can be woven into a fabric. Historically, hemp was used for industrial purposes, especially when crafting ropes and sails (both of which require increased durability). Hemp seed oil provides anti-inflammatory properties which can help relieve pain; promotes heart and skin health with omega-3 and omega 6 fatty acids, which also provide anti-aging benefits and may be beneficial for treating atopic dermatitis; is an effective moisturizer. Due to hemp seed oils anti-inflammatory properties, it can be used to create natural soap formulations for dry or sensitive skin. Hemp can be used to create printer ink, and produce jet black, grey and conductive ink outputs. Hemp seed oil can be applied to both finished wood, to clean and protect the wood, or unfinished wood, to emphasize the richness of the wood grain and provide moisture protection. Hemp seed oil may also be used to seal stained furniture. Hemp seed oil’s natural moisturizing properties, plus its anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties make it a valuable addition to skincare products.
