Morocco prolongs wheat import tax exemption
The government of Morocco lengthened the suspension of import duties on soft wheat until the end of April and on durum wheat until the end of May, a spokesman for the country's customs authority said on Friday (Feb 23).
The decree was adopted at a government council meeting on Thursday.
"Under the government's decree, we will continue to exempt soft wheat imports from custom duties until the end of April and on durum wheat imports until end-May to ensure adequate supplies for the domestic market," the spokesperson told Reuters.
