U.S. trade mission to visit Morocco in May 2025 to explore joint business opportunities

A U.S. trade mission will visit Morocco in May 2025 to explore joint business and investment opportunities offered in the North African Kingdom & Africa in agrifood and other sectors.

The Western U.S. Agricultural Trade Association (WUSATA) and the 15 Western Region Departments of Agriculture announced participation in the trade mission offering U.S. exporters an opportunity to enter Moroccan market, establish strategic connections, and enhance export prospects.

Participants will benefit from a range of activities, including market briefings delivered by U.S. officials, one-on-one business meetings, site visits to retail and manufacturing facilities, and personalized company consultations.

Morocco’s infrastructure investments, particularly in roads and ports, position it as a regional trade hub, benefiting U.S. exporters and food manufacturers across Africa.

Last December, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) organized its first-ever Agribusiness Trade Mission (ATM) to Morocco. A delegation of 26 U.S. agribusinesses, 21 leaders of cooperatives, and 14 state agriculture departments took part in the mission which contributed to strengthening further partnerships between the United States, Morocco, and West Africa.

Since the U.S.-Morocco Free Trade Agreement (FTA) came into effect in 2006, Moroccan agricultural exports to the United States have almost tripled and United States agricultural exports to Morocco have doubled. The Kingdom was the second-largest U.S. agricultural export market in Africa in 2023. In the same year, agriculture exchange between the two countries reached $900 million.
