Morocco has an area of 506,000 km and a populationof 16 million which is increasingat a rate of 2.6% per vear. Its agricultureaccounts for about 30% of GDP and is the largest sector in the economy, providing about one-half of the exports and employment (55% of the labor force). Agriculture products, mainly sugar, cereals, dairy products, tea, coffee and tobacco, valued at US$580 million, were imported in 1974 to meet the nation's need. Exports of agricultureproducts amounted to only US$520 million in 1974. The average agriculturaltrade surplus over the years 1970-1974 averaged US$190 million. hi. Irrigationis important to increase agriculturalproduction partic- ularly in view of the limited available land with adequate and reliable rain- fall. Out of 7.7 million ha of arable land about 840,000 ha are irrigated but only 500,000 ha are equipped with modern facilities. The Third Development Plan (1973-1977) emphasizes improvement of the trade balance of agricultural products, increasedfarm output and farm income through irrigationand improve- ment in the distributionof growth benefits. The proposed Doukkala Irrigation Project would contribute to the realization of these objectives by producing export products and import substituteproducts, implementingland consolida- tion, improving supporting services and providingbasic village infrastruc- ture and bilharzia control. The Governmentof the Kingdom of Morocco has requesteda Bank loan to help finance the project. iii. Bank Group lending to Morocco for agriculturestarted in 1965 and consista of five loans and two cree.itstotalling US$175 million. Except for the SousasGroundwater and Meknes AgricultureDevelopment Projects, on which it is too early to report, upcoming problems in the implementationof proj- ects and disbursementshave been resolved satisfactorily. Working relations with the borrower have been cordial. iv. The project would provide sprinklerirrigation for 15,400 ha in the Doukkala perimeter. It would benefit a farmingpopulation of 19,000 persons. Water would be obtained from the Oum Er R'Bia river. To improve quality of life and create an improved rural environnent,the project would also provide village infrastructureand support a bilharzia control program. The project would provide for a feaslbilftystudy of the Dechra El Oued dam and for a feasibilitystudy for productionand marketing of vegetablesin the Massa region. - ii - v. The Ministry of Agriculture and Agrarian Reform (MARA)with the as- sistance of other Goverament agencies would be responsible for project imple- mentation. MARA's Regional AgriculturalDevelopment Office in Doukkala (ORMVAD)would be charged with planning, design, construction,operation and maintenance,and agriculturalservices. The Ministry of Public Health would be responsible for the implementation of the bilharzia control program. vi. Total project costs are estimated at US$94 million with a foreign exchange component of US$42.0 million. The proposed Bank loan (US$30 mil- lion) would finance part of the foreign exchange costs, and loans from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) the remaining foreign exchange requirements (US$12 million), plus part of local costs (US$1 million). Goverument and project farmers would finance the remaining local costs (US$51.4 million). Construction started in 1975 and would be completed in 1980. Total value of the works and equipment, including con- tingencies,that would be procured under internationalcompetitive bidding amount to US$48.0 million. Goode and services financed through the proposed Bank Loan would be procured in accordancewith Bank Guidelines. vii. At full development,the project would increase annual production of main crops as follows: wheat 9,500 tons, maize 8,700 tons, sugar beet 130,500 tons, tomatoes 54,400 tons, cotton 2,000 tons, milk 15,500 tons and beef 1,300 tons. Incremental production

Il Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique INRA Colossal Achievements and know-how for Sustainable Development of Moroccan Agriculture \ Professeur Mohamed Badraoui f or nearly one century, INRA has been evolving in terms of organization and research strategy.lndeed, INRA has always managed to adapt its intervening structures, its research programs use tools and means specifie to the socio - economie environ ment prevailing at each phase of its history. Thanks to its research achievements, INRA is among the national institutions that have contributed significantly to the modernization of the Moroccan economy through basic knowledge produced and the technologies developed by its researchers. ln this regard, the regional dimension is a strategie priority. Thus, we are working to preserve client oriented research achievements and to consolidate regional anchorage. Our will is strongly expressed by the involvement of our partners, stakeholders and regional operators in orienting, monitoring and using research results. This is also the role ofThe Regional Councils of Agricultural Research which are important forums for holding debates and keeping information exchange. ln addition, communication and technology transfer is a key element of our vision. We are spa ring no effort to promote internai and external communication and improve information management. Nowadays, INRA has a solid basis to achieve defined objectives and, thereby, support the new Govern­ ment Agricultural Development Strategy "Green Morocco Plan:' Meanwhile, the opening up and partnership dimension is also a field for us to further strengthen collaboration at the national and international levels for better use of research results and for raising Research and Development to a level in harmony with public and private operators' needs.

A magnificent array of architecture set against the snow-capped peaks of the High Atlas Mountains, beneath a brilliant blue sky that reveals the city’s true nature – a luxuriant, sun-soaked oasis, heady with the scent of the jasmine and orange blossom that adorn its gardens. Within its adobe walls, in the sun-streaked shade, the medina’s teeming streets are alive with activity. A hubbub of voices calling back and forth, vibrant colours, the air filled with the fragrance of cedar wood and countless spices. Sounds, colours and smells unite gloriously to compose an astonishing sensorial symphony. Marrakech, city of legend, cultural capital, inspirer of artists, fashions and Bab Agnaou leads to Marrakech’s events; Marrakech with its art galleries, festivals, and exhibitions; Marrakech main palaces with its famous names, its luxurious palaces and its glittering nightlife.
