Moroccan expects 10.2 million tonnes grain harvest in 2009
Good rains will produce a bumper cereal crop in Morocco this year, with an expected 10.2 million tonnes due to be harvested, Agriculture Minister Aziz Akhenouch said Tuesday (April 21).
"The 2009 harvest will be abundant, even excellent," Akhenouch said at the opening of the country's second agricultural congress in the central town of Meknes.
In 2008, Morocco harvested 5 million tonnes of grain.
