ead of Government Fatima Ezzahra El Mansouri announced on November 12, at the opening of the Government Council, the decision to temporarily suspend the granting of new export licenses for tomatoes, onions and potatoes.
According to the Council’s statement, the measure aims to protect the domestic market while preserving the interests of farmers and of the Kingdom’s partners in Africa.
The Head of Government pointed to the continued rise in food and fuel prices, and stressed the need to keep markets supplied and to fight speculation and monopoly.
She announced the creation of an interministerial committee to monitor prices and the continuation of exceptional support for road transport operators. Prices will be tracked daily in preparation for the month of Ramadan.
Only new licenses are concerned, and the statement does not set the length of the suspension.
