Moroccan tomato threatened by virus

The “Tuta Absoluta” virus continues to ravage Moroccan tomato crops, causing huge losses to producers. They are worried about this year’s production.

This virus has been appearing in Moroccan greenhouses since 2008. Despite the ongoing efforts of tomato producers to contain it, it continues to destroy crops. In 2015, farmers recorded considerable losses due to this virus, which particularly affects cherry tomato varieties.
