The current agricultural season in the Fez-Meknes region is going through a serious crisis due to the cessation of rains and unusually high temperatures, which threaten crops and agricultural land and increase the suffering of farmers.
This situation significantly affected the cultivation of cereals, which began to wither initially due to drought, in addition to the difficulties in obtaining fodder for livestock, further complicating the lives of farmers and their means of subsistence.
Farmers in areas like Imouzar Kandar and Lamhaya expressed frustration over these challenges, expressing hope that God’s mercy and rain would save the agricultural season.
They also highlighted their inability to bear additional costs such as irrigation equipment and the purchase of fuel, which places them facing a serious economic and social crisis.
This situation requires urgent intervention from the authorities concerned to support farmers, whether by providing them with financial assistance to secure irrigation equipment or through government initiatives to reduce the burden on them, in addition to strengthening prayers and anticipation of rains to improve climatic conditions.
