Business, Trade and Commerce in Morocco


Importing and Exporting
Moroccos main trade is importing and exporting. Although there are local arts
and crafts found on every corner of the street, most of the locally produced arts
and crafts are being exported to neighbouring countries. However the quality of
the arts and crafts has worsened over the centuries and has been corrupted by
modern techniques and chemical dyes. Moroccos principal legal exports are
clothing, fish (notably sardines), phosphates, fruit and vegetables. Cannabis
though illegal, is also an important export.
Ferrying
There is also a lucrative business in ferrying would-be immigrants across the
Straits toSpain, with money made in these ways being invested in apartments
and other speculative ventures.
Oil
Morocco has an extensive infrastructure to support active oil and gas exploration
and a vibrant production industry. Major seaports, roadways, airports, pipelines
and refineries are near large cities endowed with the usual European and North
American style amenities. The downstream oil-industry of Morocco is well
developed. The country has two oil refineries with a total refining capacity of
150,000 barrels per day.
Phosphate
The strongest point of Moroccan industry is phosphate mining. Morocco houses
approximately 2/3 of the world's phosphate reserves, putting it in a higher
league than major competitors China, Russia, and the United States. Although it
employs only 2% of the population, phosphate mining is responsible for half of
the nation's income.
In a nutshell the main industries in Morocco are phosphate rock mining and
processing, food processing, leather goods, textiles, selling of arts and crafts,
construction, and tourism. Moroccos main trading partners are France and

Spain. Inflation stands at around four percent and unemployment at around


nineteen percent.
