AMIN) launched in February 2014. Other OIC members of MED-AMIN are Albania, Algeria,

Egypt, Lebanon, Tunisia, and Turkey.

4.2.3. Stakeholders’ Perceptions in Morocco

As in the case of Turkey, the two ministries responsible for agriculture and trade are major

actors in developing and coordinating agricultural trade policies. Thus, the directors and experts

from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Rural Development, Water and Forests and from the

Department of Foreign Trade in the Ministry of Industry, Investment, Trade and Digital

Economy are included in the list of interviewees. The key informant interview has also been

conducted with academics working on agriculture and agricultural trade, the experts from the

Islamic Center of Development and Trade and from the OCP Policy Center, and the Chamber of

Agriculture in Casablanca and Settat.
