We have been growing with green beans by 30% annually over the last 3 years
The Moroccan region of Agadir has become one of the largest agricultural areas in the country. Intensive horticultural production has become consolidated there thanks to its abundant hours of sunshine and the mild climate that its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean gives it. It also has the support of the Moroccan Government, which has helped in the modernization of irrigation systems and the construction of a desalination plant, so that the sector can cope with periods of drought, which is one of the main challenges they face. Among the many vegetables grown in the region, green beans stand out the most. This crop was moved from Spain to Morocco years ago due to its very high production costs.
