Morocco’s First Legal Cannabis Processing Plant Opens
Mohamed El Guerrouj, director general of the National Agency for the Regulation of Cannabis-Related Activities (ANRAC) celebrated this important milestone for the country’s legal marijuana market by taking part in the inauguration ceremony. The planet opened in a town in the northern part of the country and the capital of Taounate Province.
Taounate Province Governor Saleh Daha also honored the event with his presence.
“Thanks to the government’s and ANRAC’s collaborative efforts, we have set the stage for a successful debut of this new industry,” said El Guerrouj as reported by Morocco World News.
The plant, a $2 million investment, covers 3,000 square meters and includes nurseries, extraction units. It has created 25 permanent jobs and over 300 seasonal positions, boosting the local economy, according to Mustapha El Missouri, an investor from Taounate.
