Between April 16 and 21, 2019, Ficosterra took
the opportunity to participate in the fourteenth edition of the International
Exhibition of Agriculture of Morocco (SIAM), one of the most important fairs in
northern Africa where the latest technology trends in the agricultural sector
are displayed.
The fair was held in the city of Meknes and
there, under the shade of the Spanish flag of the ICEX, Ficosterra presented
its biofertilizers made from algae and regenerating microorganisms.
SIAM has become a prominent fair in Morocco
whereby almost one million visitors from more than 60 countries come to learn
about the newest information on food safety, equipment, fertilizers, agri
chemicals and agri nutrients, among other offers. According to the data of the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Moroccan agriculture represents 13.6% of its GDP,
being the main source of income for the country. Also, they point out that the
sale of Spanish agricultural products to Morocco grew 11% in 2018 according to
the ICEX. The Moroccan market is one of the main ones outside the EU for
Spanish exports and Ficosterra, aware of this, seeks to infiltrate this market
with its innovative, sustainable fertilizers and biofertilizers.
