mardi 15 mai 2007
In a move to aid farmers beset by drought and other difficulties, the Moroccan Ministry of Agriculture has again absolved the debts of a number of the country’s farmers.
Agriculture Minister Mohand Laenser said in a statement this week that the recent debt cancelation targeted 99,582 small farmers facing difficulties in repaying their loans due to drought and natural disasters. They were selected according to criteria laid out by the Agricultural Loan Corporation\’s supervisory council, requiring that the total debt not exceed MAD500,000 (US$60,450), that the loans were not granted after 2001, and that the farmers did not possess adequate collateral.
