The 8th edition of the Regional Terroir Products Fair, themed "Generation Green: Solidarity Agriculture, Basis for the Development of Terroir Products," is taking place in Saidia from July 14th to 23rd. The official opening was presided over by the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries, Rural Development, and Water and Forests, Mr. Mohammed Sadiki, in the presence of the Governor of Berkane Province, Mr. Mohamed Ali Habouha, the President of the Regional Chamber of Agriculture of the Oriental Region, elected officials, and an important delegation of ministry officials.
This fair provides a space for consumers and visitors to discover the latest developments related to terroir products and an opportunity to exchange experiences and know-how among agricultural cooperatives, stakeholders, and relevant institutions.
Organized by the Regional Directorate of Agriculture of the Oriental Region in partnership with the Association of the Rural Family Home of Beni Snassen, the Regional Chamber of Agriculture of the Oriental Region, the National Agricultural Advisory Office, and the National Office of Food Safety, the fair sees the participation of over 120 cooperatives whose products meet sanitary safety standards with certification from the ONSSA, as well as institutional actors in agricultural and rural development.
The organization of this event is part of the "Generation Green 2020-2030" strategy, which places human welfare at its core and promotes the emergence of a middle class in agriculture through the development of solidarity agriculture projects and agricultural entrepreneurship. These projects primarily rely on the development of a new generation of agricultural organizations with economic and social dimensions.
