Partnership between Syngenta and Swisscontact for agricultural development in Azilal
In a context marked by the rapid transformation of farms in the province of Azilal, particularly in the Aït Bouguemez valley, which covers nearly 15,000 hectares, apple monoculture, which occupies 98% of agricultural land, raises challenges such as the overexploitation of water and the excessive use of plant protection products. With this in mind, Syngenta has signed a partnership with Swisscontact, as part of Syngenta’s commitments to sustainable agriculture.

This collaboration aims to promote sustainable farming practices and strengthen the resilience of farms. An in-depth survey of producers identified urgent needs for training, information sharing and technical support. The next stages of the partnership will involve setting up targeted training for farmers, technical assistance and capitalising on the lessons learned from this pilot project.
This strategic partnership is part of a proactive approach aimed at supporting the sustainability and profitability of farms, while improving farmers’ health and protecting the environment.
