  • Our first exports of refined sugar were made in 2013 to Africa, Europe and Asia, which proves that our sugar meets international standards. All these initiatives highlight our ability to grow and build our vocation as a regional and international agro-industrial Group.

    This vocation is supported by the strong commitment of our teams who deploy the know-how and business expertise required to achieve our competitiveness objectives set in our corporate project «Cap to Excellence 2016».

    In this context, the ongoing IMPROVE project on the redesign of our IS and its alignment with the best sectoral practices is appropriately a positive catalyst for «Cap to Excellence 2016».

    Our aim is to fulfill our growth objective while meeting our corporate responsibility for the sustainable development of our ecosystem.

    For our millions of consumers and thanks to the contribution of our 2,000 employees and of the 80,000 agricultural partners on five agricultural perimeters, we contribute to the creation value for our Group and all of our partners.

    The major challenges we face for 2014 call for more efforts to improve both our agricultural and industrial performance to sustain and develop the sugar sector. Support from our Moroccan institutional shareholders and the WILMAR Group is also an advantage to achieve our goals.

    The year 2013 was marked by significant changes in the environment of COSUMAR’S activity. Our priority was to strengthen our competitiveness to bring further added value to our customers, the consumers of our products, our shareholders and to all of our partners.

    Increasing energy costs have significantly impacted the Group results and have de facto overshadowed the impact of good agricultural and industrial performances. Consequently our Group net income fell by almost 14% to MAD 629 million, thereby not reflecting the significant efforts towards progress that have been constantly made so far.

    Considering the satisfaction of our consumers and clients a priority among our concerns, we have continued to implement various plans of optimization and upgrading to ensure and improve the quality of our products which guarantee such satisfaction.

    In keeping up with our goal of sustainable development for the national industry, as announced in 2012 we have increased consumption coverage through local production from 20% in 2012 to 30% in 2013 through better operating performance.

    This increase is the result of several years of efforts being jointly led with all our partners for the sustainable development of a modern and competitive sugar industry able to contribute significantly to our mission as a sugar supplier in the domestic market.

    We are building on this momentum in order to achieve the objectives announced in the 2020 roadmap which includes significant investments from COSUMAR for the further development of the agricultural and industrial sectors.

    Today, the Group’s overall production capacity, amounting to 1.65 million tons of refined white sugar per year enables us to meet local needs and to consider exporting.

  • AMBITION IN AFRICA

    COSUMAR Group seeks to grow internationally. This opening is motivated by a desire for external growth into a deficient African market where demand is strong. COSUMAR’s industrial over-capacity enables to meet this demand.

    Several opportunities opened up for COSUMAR, namely the existence of potential targets in Sub-Saharan Africa, a national strategy that promotes investment in sugar in some countries, the gradual decrease in EU exports, the second largest producer and finally the lack of regional critical size.

    To this end, several paths for geographical diversification have been explored by COSUMAR which is pursuing exploration for partnerships or potential alliances in Africa, drawing on the fact that the continent represents a deficit in sugar of 6 million tons per year.

    COSUMAR’s ambition to expand into the African continent and the entire MENA region also coincides with that of its WILMAR shareholder which is already present in Ghana, Uganda, Nigeria and the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire. COSUMAR can build on this African experience with its strong expertise at the agricultural, industrial and commercial levels.

    VISION

    A SUSTAINABLE SUGAR INDUSTRY

    COSUMAR Group is committed to supporting the sugar sector in its upgrading and

    modernization phase to increase its competitiveness. Major investments agreed in the program contract

    entered between the State and FIMASUCRE in April 2008 as part of the Green Morocco Plan have been made

    and have contributed greatly to the overall improvement in performance.

    COSUMAR Group’s vision is to continue to be the pillar and guarantor of the sugar sector by playing its role as an agro-industrial aggregator

    and socio-economic promoter working to improve the agricultural and industrial practices.

    CHALLENGES OF THE GROUP BY 2016

    COSUMAR Group plans to become a socially responsible, major agribusiness group in Africa with diversified activities, creating lasting value for all its stakeholders.

    All of its employees are mobilized to achieve new goals and challenges by 2016, i.i.e. to achieve an extraction capacity of 625,000 tons of white sugar to cover the major needs of the national market, the provision of a competitive industrial tool that meets the international standards, the specialization of its packaging sites, the «in-house» management of engineering and industrial projects as well as the support for the operational development of business lines to achieve excellence.

  • A STRONG ANCHORING AT THE AGRICULTURAL UPSTREAM

    Through its work on the technical, financial and social components, the Group as a renowned aggregator provides support to its agricultural partners in improving their agricultural performance, in optimizing water consumption

    and the use of inputs, in increasing productivity in terms of sugar per hectare with a view to increasing their income.

    SUGAR EXTRACTION PROCESS

    To extract sugar from the plants, sugar beet and sugar cane are subject to a virtually identical process consisting of several unit operations: purification, filtration, evaporation, crystallization, drying and packaging.

    For sugar, these operations are preceeded by washing and diffusion. For sugar cane, crushing and pressure replace the diffusion operation used for beet processing. Its purification processes also require adaptation as cane juice does not contain the same impurities as beet juice.

    Cosumar’s value chain

    COSUMAR Group owns a raw sugar refinery in Casablanca which was created in 1929. Located near the port of Casablanca, the refinery receives the imported raw sugar from Brazil and then stores it in dedicated silos. At present, raw sugar storage capacity is 75,000 tons.

    Raw sugar goes through a series of operations before it is transformed into refined white sugar, namely purification, mashing, thawing, carbonation, filtration, discoloration, evaporation, crystallization and drying. It is then ready to be packaged in various forms of finished products.

    COSUMARCOSUMAR ANNUAL REPORT 2013ANNUAL REPORT 201330 31

  • Our product range

    Associated with significant moments in Moroccan people’s lives, sugar loaf

    is served during the traditional ceremony of tea but is also offered at events

    such as the pilgrimage, weddings and births. This form was long confused

    with sugar.

    The dried pulp in the form of pellets is derived from beet processing and is widely used as a raw material for animal feed especially for livestock.

    Molasses is the latest by-product from raw sugar refining which is found in the form of very thick and

    viscous syrup. It is used as a substrate for yeast

    production.

    The bagasse, the fibrous residue of sugar cane, is

    used as bio-energy in sugar units.

    The sugar lump is the most well-known molded form

    in the world. It is marketed in 1 kg boxes and in 5 kg bags and is usually used in

    coffees.

    A form invented by Cosumar in the 1970s,

    the cub is used to prepare mint tea but also coffee (in the traditional way of

    preparation). It is marketed in 1 kg boxes and 5 kg

    burden.

    A form used by both manufacturers and

    households, granulated sugar is marketed in bags of 1 kg and 2 kg grouped by 6, 12 or 15 and in bags of 50 kg thus adapting to

    each reception and storage facility of final users.

    DOMESTIC MARKET SUPPLY

    The regular supply of the national market is a priority for COSUMAR Group which is committed to providing a product that meets the most stringent quality standards. To ensure optimal coverage of the territory, COSUMAR has implemented an efficient distribution network. Thus, in 13 outlets throughout the Kingdom, products are available in quantity and in time. Supply is ensured by road and rail.

  • As part of the 2012-2013 R&D program, several research activities have been implemented in all the perimeters on all aspects related to the development sugar beet and sugar cane.

    COSUMAR-ITB PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

    Support from the French Technical Institute of Beet to the Moroccan sugar industry consists of technical assistance on all the agronomic aspects of sugar beet. The collaboration program for the year 2012-2013 focused on: • ITB training cycle: four training sessions at the ITB in

    France on techniques for implementing, conducting and analyzing the test results...

    • Agronomic observatories of sugar beet: - A network of 70 parcels in each perimeter for the monitoring of sugar beet development and the plant health of parcels ;

    - Three training sessions led by experts from the ITB in Tadla, Gharb-Loukkos, and Doukkala on the monitoring techniques of agronomic observatories…

    • Estimate of production through photography shooting techniques: - Establishment of a new production estimation method

    based on photography shooting techniques and «Previbet» image analysis ;

    - Three training sessions led by ITB experts in Gharb, Tadla, Doukkala and Loukkos on photography shooting techniques...

    • Positioning of the sugar beet cycle: determination of the best combination of date of sowing and of harvesting for a good yield and high technological quality of sugar beet.

    FIMASUCRE-AMSP PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

    FIMASUCRE entered into a partnership agreement in 2012 with the AMSP (Moroccan Association of Seeds and Plants) to promote the use of high-performance seeds tailored to the agropedoclimatic conditions of each perimeter and the introduction of new technologies related to the seed sector.

    For the crop year 2012-2013, varietal trial platforms were implemented in all of the sugar beet perimeters on several themes.

    AGRICULTURAL UPSTREAM : STRENGTHENING OF R&D

    CREATION OF A RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CENTER FOR SUGAR CROPS

    As part of the implementation of the partnership agreement signed between FIMASUCRE and the Ministry of Agriculture and Marine Fisheries, a new Research and Development Center for Sugar Crops «CRCS» is underway in the Gharb perimeter over a 40 ha area. The mission of this centre is to produce part of the sugarcane cuttings and also to carry out the research programs.

    A total amount of MAD 10 million has been allocated for the creation and equipment of this centre which will be supported by equal contributions from FIMASUCRE and the State (Ministry of Agriculture and Marine Fisheries).

    RESEARCH & REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT ACTIONS

    Several research actions are being conducted at each perimeter level for the development of sugar crops, relating mainly to the use of sugar beet leaves and crowns as a green manure for the soil, the implementation of a strategy for the weeding of sugar crops, the rationalization of crop fertilization, the choice of effective plant protection products as well as the choice of the most effective and water-efficient irrigation system.

    As part of the corporate project «Cap towards Excellence 2016», COSUMAR Group is evolving towards a customer-oriented business culture aiming their satisfaction. COSUMAR also aims to adopt a distribution model allowing improved customer loyalty and the expansion of its regional presence.

    Thus, the Sales and Marketing Department set for itself a roadmap for meeting future challenges resulting from this ambitious strategy based on:

    COSUMAR launched the marketing, via the traditional channel, of a new sugar loaf called «LFARHA». This latter meets the expectations expressed by our customers and thanks to an innovative formula of syrup, LFARHA has the aroma, color, firmness, and taste of the traditional sugar loaf. It is proposed to all our clients who appreciate this emblematic product of Moroccan conviviality.

    At the refinery, two packaging lines are dedicated to the manufacture of the new product which is then packed in crates of 12 units. LFARHA loaf which all of our wholesale customers are delighted with, is sold in our outlets together with our classic loaf.

    One of the pillars of the corporate project «Cap towards Excellence 2016» is the Lean Manufacturing project. This project was successfully launched in April 2013 at the refinery and involves a «loaf» packaging line and a «lump»

    packaging line. It seeks to identify and monitor all sources of loss to improve machine availability and product quality. This approach will be rolled out at all the Group entities after this first experience is completed

  • Social barometer: a major intelligence and monitoring tool

    By building its development strategy around its human capital, COSUMAR organizes each year a social barometer across the different sites of the Group. This initiative enables employees to express their needs and expectations with confidence and confidentiality. After the survey results are obtained, they are communicated to all staff with full transparency, thereby promoting operational and strategic decision-making, exchange of experience and sharing of good practices.

    CAPITALIzING ON OUR HUMAN RESOURCES

    AREAS OF PROGRESS

    • Management: strengthening the supervision and monitoring of staff to develop a style of management that meets the expectations.

    • Internal communication: promoting a better fluidity to convey information and promote the image of a corporate citizen.

    • Integration and retention of new recruits: developing a support policy promoting integration and encouraging the culture of performance to ensure succession in the best conditions.

    • Development of a common culture: rallying staff around the Group values to strengthen the spirit of belonging to the company.

    HEALTH AND SAFETY AT wORK: A TOP PRIORITY

    As a responsible company, we need to ensure a healthy and safe environment for all our employees and to act on a daily basis to maintain the zero accident target, while ensuring to provide them with the best possible working conditions. All sites are now certified under NM 00.5 801 or OHSAS 18001 version 2007 standard for their Health and Safety at Work management system. Training on hazards in the workplace and wearing the individual protections were held on a sustained basis, while materials and installations were brought into compliance.

    A CONSTRUCTIVE SOCIAL DIALOGUE wITH SOCIAL PARTNERS

    Committed to preserving a motivating and healthy climate, COSUMAR’s management and social partners are involved in ongoing and constructive exchanges as part of a dialogue based on trust and mutual respect.

    INTERNATIONAL PROFILE SOURCING

    This year, COSUMAR Group participated in two international HR forums. The AMGE forum in Paris, in January 2013 and the “Carrefour Maghrébin” in Lyon in March 2013. Besides its international recognition, COSUMAR’s presence at these two forums has helped its recruitment service to identify graduates from renowned French schools who may contribute to the development of its activity.

    DEVELOPMENT OF E-RECRUITMENT

    In order to optimize the management of online applications, a COSUMAR Group’s «HR relationship» was launched. Through its interface, applications are processed in real time. Upstream, the HRD is provided with better visibility on the progress regarding the recruitments processed throughout the year (placement of ads, history of interviews, tracking status for each application). Downstream, job and internship seekers will be able to submit their CVs and fill out a detailed form on line, which allows a better demand/supply segmentation.

    NEw INTEGRATION POLICY

    A new approach was adopted by COSUMAR to improve its integration policy.

    RESOURCES’ PRESERVATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE

    A COMMITMENT TO SERVE THE PEOPLE AND THE ENVIRONEMENT

    COSUMAR Group places environmental compliance at the heart of its sustainable development strategy. This is attested by the adoption of the ISO 14001 certification at all the production sites.

    1. Reduction in water consumption through investments on industrial devices that resulted in significant water savings and decreased liquid discharges. At the agricultural upstream level, COSUMAR raises farmers’ awareness of water saving and promotes water-efficient irrigation systems by providing them with funding that wonld encourage them to use these sustainable techniques. As such, and as part of the Green Morocco Plan, sugar crop aggregates benefit from subsidies of up to 100% for the whole equipment.

    2. With regard to energy, improvements were made at the factories to drastically reduce the consumption of fossil energy. The “bagasse boiler” project initiated by Surac (sugar cane factory) and operated by Sunabel (beet factory), has allowed the use of excess bagasse of Surac, thereby reducing CO2 emissions by about 30,000 T / year and resulting in a consumption saving of 7,000 tons / year of coal. This project was registered

    at the United Nations MDP (Clean Development Mechanism) Executive Board, thereby becoming the fifth Moroccan project within this context. Still with regard to energy saving, SUTA, has developed the production of pulp silage in substitution for the production of pellets, which allows to reduce the consumption of fuel and thus to reduce air emissions. Indeed, pulp silage production increased from 1694 tons in 2010 to 48000 tons in 2013, and aims to produce 88,000 tons in 2014.

    3. For liquid discharges, a waste water treatment plant has been set up at SUTA. Similarly, liquid waste treatment systems have also been implemented at SUCRAFOR and at Sidi Bennour factory. Other projects are underway at SUNABEL and SURAC. Treated wastewater from factories is then reused for watering purposes.

    4. Waste from sugar beet is fully processed into cattle feed, and sugarcane waste is used as fuel to generate electricity and steam as part of our energy saving strategy. Sludge from cleaning is used for soil fertilization of requesting farmers.

  • Considered as a successful aggregation model in Morocco, COSUMAR Group was awarded by the FAO at the world food day, in October 2009, with a medal to acknowledge its role as an aggregator of 80,000 farming partners.

    The aggregation agreements implemented are intended to further strengthen the win - win relationship between the aggregator and its aggregates and to allow them to access the benefits from the Agricultural Development Fund.

    COSUMAR as an agro-industrial investor and a responsible and community-minded aggregator, assists its partners at the financial, technical and social levels. Its tasks are as follows:

    1- SUPERVISION OF SUGAR PLANTS PRODUCTION

    • Input supply and distribution ; • Input pre-funding: the funding amounts to about MAD

    400 million annually ;• Coaching of farmers at all stages of production ;• Pre-financing of cultivation operations (hoeing, processing,

    harvesting...) ;

    • Encouragement of the creation of agricultural service providers ;

    • Organization of visits and missions for the farmers at the national and international levels ;

    • Organization of workshops ; • Defence of the interests of aggregates with the public

    authorities (Support agreements...) ; • Mobilization of human and material resources to

    support the agricultural upstream ; • Transfer of knowledge from Research and Development

    to the farmers.

    2- PRODUCTION TRANSPORTATION

    COSUMAR ensures the loading and transport of farmers’ plants from its aggregates farms to the plants. The operation mobilizes a large fleet of 1,400 trucks and 4,200 warehousemen for the loading. This activity enables to generate a turnover of MAD 250 million and create direct and indirect jobs in the regions.

    3- MODERNIzATION OF SUGAR CROPS RECEPTION CENTERS

    COSUMAR has made in recent years significant investments to modernize the reception centers of sugar crops. These centers are now equipped with new technologies and operate with no human intervention. They are designed to serve the farming partners according to international standards, ensuring full transparency.. These centers are equipped with testing laboratories accredited under ISO 17 025 standard to ensure the quality of the analysis and measures.

    4- A GUARANTEE OF PRODUCTION PURCHASE

    This guarantee applies in accordance with the decisions monitored by the State and signed between COSUMAR and the National Union of Associations of Moroccan Sugar Plants Producers (UNAPPSM).

    And to achieve this, the sugar industry obtained support from the State through support for farmers:

    • Increase in the purchase price of sugar beet and sugar cane respectively by MAD 80/T and MAD 50/T, successively applied over two crop years in 2012 and 2013 ;

    • Grant agreements for purchases made by farmers (monogerm seed, farm equipment...) ;

    • Promotion of major investments for irrigation ; • A subsidy for farmers of MAD 6000/ha planted with cane

    to encourage new sugar cane plantations ; • Support and assistance to farmers affected by the

    creation of a solidarity fund for an amount of MAD 235 million, between 2008 and 2012, financed jointly by the State and FIMASUCRE.

    5- A SOLIDARITY FUND FOR FARMERS

    Given the succession of natural disasters during the past four crop years, FIMASUCRE has set up a solidarity fund to mitigate their impacts on the affected farmers. This solidarity fund is exclusively intended to cope with the effects of the exceptional and major natural events. It is financed both by the interprofessional operators and the State contributions.

    AN AGGREGATOR COMMITTED TO ITS FARMERS

    COSUMARCOSUMAR ANNUAL REPORT 2013ANNUAL REPORT 201346 47

  • COSUMAR contributes to the socio-economic deve-lopment of the cities that have developed around the sugar factories as economic centers by encouraging the

    creation of service providers and establishing convenience infrastructure.

    This strategic vision enables to provide economic stimulation to the regions, to maintain populations at the service of local development by combating rural exodus, and more importantly, to value the major State investments (dams, hydro-agricultural network, etc.) through the development of other activities related to the sugar sector, such as farming.

  • SALES DECREASED IN THE FIRST SEMESTER, AND INCREASED IN THE SECOND ONE

    A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN AGRICULTURAL PERFORMANCE

    INCREASE IN FUEL PRICES, A BRAKE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SUGAR INDUSTRY

    Sugar sales amounted to 1,217 thousand tons, i.e. 0.6% lower than in 2012. This decrease is explained by an 8.2% exceptional fall recorded in the first quarter of 2013 following massive destocking by retailers due to the liquidity problems relating to a difficult economic environment.

    However, sales resumed their normal growth as for the second quarter of 2013, thus showing an average increase of 1.7% over the last 9 months of the year.

    The sugar crop year was marked by favorable climatic conditions. Heavy rainfall was recorded in all sugar perimeters with a regular distribution during the agricultural cycle of sugar beet. Agricultural production achieved during crop year 2013 increased by 37% for sugar beet and 13% for sugar cane compared to the last crop year.

    Therefore, sugar production from sugar plants increased by 46% compared to 2012.

    The continued rise in energy prices since June 2012, related in particular to higher fuel oil and gas oil prices is likely to penalize domestic production of sugar resulting from the

    processing of beet, the process of which requires a large amount of fuel oil, and therefore the level of sugar needs coverage.

    The year 2013 was marked by a surplus raw sugar for the fourth consecutive year. This was reflected by the replenishment of world supplies and the downward consolidation of raw sugar prices to levels not recorded since 2010. Thanks to good weather conditions, the major producing countries have had good harvests thus

    contributing to a global production of 181 million tons, resulting in a surplus of about 5 million tons in 2013.

    Nevertheless, prices have increased thanks to sustained demand from importing countries notably China.

    The prospects for the year 2014 announce a balance between production and world consumption. The first balance sheets show that the world production would be

    at the same level as 2013 with an increased consumption of about 3 million tons, and also the end of the surplus phase and the ascent rebalance of supply/demand.

  • On April 15, 2013, SNI has entered into a strategic agreement for linking COSUMAR to an agro-industrial partner of reference, the leading Asian agribusiness Group WILMAR International. At the end of this agreement, the holding company disposed of 27.5% of the company’s share capital. This disposal brought to an end a process that lasted two years.

    This new partner has a strong agricultural, industrial and commercial expertise and is in line with the national strategy of promoting agricultural upstream, so as to guarantee to the country a certain level of self-sufficiency for such essential commodity as is sugar. Its enthusiasm towards COSUMAR was motivated by the Group’s positioning as the agro-industrial leader in its field and the aggregator of over 80 000 farmers.

    DISPOSAL OF 27.5% OF COSUMAR CAPITAL BY wILMAR GROUP

    Taking into account the strategic role of the sugar sector and to consolidate and capitalize on the achievements of the 2008-2013 contract program, a roadmap on the horizon of 2020 agreed between the State and FIMASUCRE to continue the development of the performance of the sugar industry.

    Furthermore, COSUMAR Group’s decision to open up to other international markets including Africa, is consistent with the development strategy of its new shareholder WILMAR, on which it can rely to conquer new markets confirming the ambition to expand into the African

    continent and the whole MENA region. Thus, COSUMAR will be able to benefit from the African experience of this global giant that is already present in Ghana, Uganda, Nigeria and Republic of Côte d’Ivoire.

    For sugar agricultural upstream, this roadmap aims to achieve the following objectives for the sector:• The progressive extension of annually sugar

    cropped areas to reach 105,700 ha, of which 77,500 ha of beet sugar and 22,900 ha of sugar cane ;

    • improving the yield of sugar per hectare.

    For the industrial tool and in parallel with the increase in the acreage, in surfaces, COSUMAR is planning to improve the processing capacities of refineries to 62,500 tons per day to track the actual development of sugar crops production.

    Other arrangements are made to ensure an overall adequate framework both in terms of organization of the sugar industry and from a regulatory standpoint.

  • STIMULUS PROGRAM FOR SUGAR CANE

    PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT wITH "eRcane":

    A partnership agreement with “eRcane” Research Institute on sugar cane of the Island of Reunion was signed for the varietal development of sugar cane. An action plan has been set for the installation of variety breeding stations in the Gharb and Loukkos, the propagation and introduction of cuttings for a good yield and high technological quality. In 2013, thirty two new varieties of sugar cane have been introduced at quarantine station of the ONSSA in Bouznika.

    RESEARCH TO IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY

    The roadmap for 2020 aimed to extend the areas planted with sugar cane in the Gharb and Loukkos perimeters and to improve sugar cane yields. To this end, SURAC and its partners, gathered within the framework of the regional technical committees, have implemented a stimulus program for sugar cane to reveal all the development constraints of this crop.

    CLIMATIC HAzARDS:

    The Gharb and Loukkos perimeters are subject to climatic disturbances that have a negative impact on the harvest of sugar cane (frosts recorded in 2005 and 2012, floods...).

    PROPOSED ACTION PLAN:

    • Growing sugar cane in flood-proof areas ;• Introduction of frost-tolerant varieties ;• Establishment of a support fund.

    FARMERS’ INDEBTEDNESS TO THE ORMVA:

    The accumulated debt has reached a high level that hinders the achievement of the objectives set for the new plantings.

    PROPOSED ACTION PLAN:

    • Establishment of interim solutions with the ORMVAs to provide guarantees for irrigation water debt collection for current plantings through the use of the subsidy ;

    • Negotiations with the State to write off the financial costs (30% of debt) and reschedule the principal debt over 5 to 10 year periods.

    HIGH COST OF SUGAR CANE INSTALLATION:

    The cost for sugar cane installation stands at MAD 24 000/ha and the first harvest is achieved after 18 months.

    PROPOSED ACTION PLAN:

    Implementation of a MAD 6000 plantation subsidy.

    IRRIGATION METHOD NOT SUITABLE FOR SUGAR CANE CULTIVATION:

    Predominance of gravity-fed and overhead irrigation with irrigation loads exceeding MAD 8 000/ha and a degraded irrigation network.

    PROPOSED ACTION PLAN:

    Support farmer equipment with drip irrigation through:• A subsidy for the aggregation of sugar cane harvesting ; • A COSUMAR-UNAPPSM-Credit Agricole du Maroc

    convention to facilitate the access to the financing.

    CROP ATTRACTIVENESS:

    Sugar cane does not provide a competitive advantage towards crops grown within the Gharb and Loukkos perimeters annual income at approximately (MAD 20 000/ha).

    PROPOSED ACTION PLAN:

    Improving the productivity of culture by:• Improvement of the yield level ;• Load optimization (irrigation).

    VARIETAL PATRIMONY:

    Three varieties aged over 30 years make up the entire patrimony. They show late maturity, except for L62, and are frost-susceptible.

    PROPOSED ACTION PLAN:

    Revitalization of the Technical Center of Sugar Cane through a research agreement articulating around the following main points:

    • Varietal selection and release of the available varieties (four) by 2016 ;

    • Conclusion of a convention with the ONSSA and the Technical Center of sugar cane for the quarantining of new varieties ;

    • Federation of partners (APPS, ORMVA, INRA, ONSSA) as part of the program for introducing new efficient varieties adapted to the Moroccan conditions ;

    • Conclusion of a partnership agreement with the «eRcane» Institute with the goal of having new varieties from cuttings in 2016 and from the fuzz in 2025, through:

    - Implementation of three breeding stations that meet the pedo-climatic conditions of sugar cane production areas ;

    - Implementation of a variety selection protocol and fuzz introduction ;

    - Introduction and propagation of sugar cane cuttings pre-selected abroad ;

    - Training of human resources responsible for the project.

  • FUTURE PROSPECTS: NECESSity to APPRECIATe THE PRICE OF SUGAR

    The continuous improvement of agricultural and industrial performance together with favorable climatic conditions has resulted in improved sector productivity and sugar plant attractiveness as well as increased farmers’ income. The 2013-2020 roadmap entered into between Public Authorities and FIMASUCRE will consolidate the benefits of the increase of areas to reach 77,500 ha of sugar beet and 22,900 ha of sugar cane and of sugar yield. In parallel, industrial tool capacity extensions will be made based on the actual development of agricultural production.

    Nevertheless, the significant impact due to the increase in the price of fuel since June 2012, combined with the decision of indexing industrial fuel with a total increase of over MAD 2,000/tons of fuel, or +60%, affects the economic sector balance, hinders the development effort and slows down the investments planned, in particular at the sugar beet factories which are large consumers of fuel. This situation requires urgent accompanying and sugar price revaluation measures to enable achieving and ensuring the profitability of the major investments scheduled.
