Agriculture

The Souss Massa region, recognized as the kingdom's foremost citrus and early vegetable region, plays a crucial role in the development of the agri-food industry. This preeminence is mainly due to its iconic cultivation of citrus and early vegetables, supported by the traditional production of argan.

The citrus and early vegetables of Souss Massa, benefiting from a favorable climate and fertile lands, are widely appreciated for their freshness and quality, significantly contributing to the agricultural reputation of the region.

The argan tree, a symbolic tree of Souss Massa, is also at the heart of this agricultural wealth. Producing an oil prized in cosmetics and cooking, the argan tree reflects the diversity and uniqueness of the region's local products.

These crops, in harmony with the local environment, not only ensure quality production but also contribute to the socio-economic inclusion of local populations through job creation.
Thus, the Souss Massa region positions itself as a vital pillar for the Moroccan economy, offering vast opportunities for sustainable development and investment in the agricultural sector.
