Morocco becomes second-largest importer of Canadian durum wheat

Morocco's Wheat Crisis: Turning to Canada for Relief

Canadian durum wheat fills a void left by drought.

Morocco has emerged as the second-largest importer of Canadian durum wheat, purchasing 1.14 million tons in the first eleven months of the 2024–2025 agricultural season, according to Statistics Canada. This surge in imports reflects Morocco's growing dependence on foreign suppliers amid a seven-year drought that has severely impacted domestic wheat production.
