Abstract

This report addresses the issue of undocumented migrant labor in Morocco’s agricultural sector. It analyzes agricultural policies governing this sector and their impact on employment, highlighting the contribution of migrant workers, the feminization of the workforce, and the informal nature of the work. The report also examines the role of agricultural institutions, interprofessional associations, and local actors in regulating the sector and defending the rights of migrants, while emphasizing the absence of migrant workers from agricultural policies. Finally, it underscores the importance of a comprehensive, multi-stakeholder approach to coordinate policies, protect the rights of migrant workers, and meet the needs of the agricultural labor market.
