Agropolis Meknes (Morocco)

Weather…

Agropolis Meknès is Morocco's first integrated industrial platform exclusively dedicated to the agri-food sector. Located in the heart of one of the country's most fertile agricultural regions, the Sais plain, the zone was developed under the Green Morocco Plan (Maroc Vert). Covering an area of approximately 130 hectares, Agropolis provides comprehensive infrastructure for the processing, packaging, and marketing of agricultural products such as olive oil, cereals, and dairy items. A central element is the Qualipole, a competency center for quality control and food safety that houses specialized laboratories and research units. The zone fosters synergy between agriculture and industry by giving farmers direct access to modern processing capacities. Strategically located along the A2 highway, the site enables the rapid transport of products to Morocco's major consumption centers and export ports. Agropolis Meknès plays a key role in increasing value addition in local agriculture, contributing to food security and the economic stability of the Fès-Meknès region.
