Moroccan farmers destroy their vegetable crops

Farmers in the Doukkala region have destroyed part of their vegetable crops, particularly tomatoes, due to falling demand.

Large quantities of rotting tomatoes due to the drop in demand have been destroyed by these farmers in the Doukkala region. “Not only has the price of tomatoes fallen, but farmers have been forced to destroy them in large quantities,” writes AssabahFarmers were also forced to get rid of other vegetables such as peppers, eggplants and cucumbers, which, stored in unsuitable conditions, began to rot due to low demand.
