Argan seedlings

Projet d'arrêté du ministre de l'agriculture, de la pêche maritime, du développement rural et des eaux et forêts portant homologation du règlement technique relatif à la production, au contrôle, au conditionnement et à la certification des plants d'arganier (Draft Order of the Minister for Agriculture, Marine Fisheries, Rural Development, Water Resources and Forestry approving the technical regulation for the production, control, packaging and certification of argan seedlings). Language(s): French Number of pages: 12

Dahir No. 1-69-169 of 25 July 1969 regulating the production and marketing of seeds and seedlings, as amended and supplemented by the Dahir promulgating Law No. 1-76-472 of 19 September 1977, and in particular Articles 1, 2 and 5 thereof, provides that technical regulations defining the conditions of production, control, packaging and certification of seeds and seedlings shall be approved by an order of the Minister in charge of agriculture.

Following the entry of argan varieties in the official catalogue, and to support the new programme contract for the argan sector as part of the "Generation Green 2020-2030" strategy, there is a need to amend the technical regulation on the production and control of standard argan seedlings as provided for by Order No. 2940-13 of 23 October 2013.

This draft introduces amendments concerning the production of certified argan seedlings rather than standard ones.
