Systematic sampling has proved that members of the genus Echinogammarus are known from limited areas of Morocco. In this paper, we describe a new species of Echinogammarus (Crustacea, Amphipoda): Echinogammarus oujdae n. sp. from freshwater of the northeastern region with remarks on its affinities and ecology.

The Palaearctic species Caenopachys hartigii (Ratzeburg, 1848) has been collected in the National Park of Pollino (S Italy), which is the first exact confirmation for the Italian fauna. A brief nomenclatural history of the genus Caenopachys Foerster, 1862, is given, its status is discussed and it is elevated from synonymy. The type species is re-described and illustrated; a key to both West Palaearctic species is given, and some biological notes are added.

The interstitial stygobiotic isopods of the genus Microcharon (Crustacea) are diversified in Morocco. A new species, M. ourikensis, is described. The new species shows some original characters for this genus: large size, strong elongation in the first male pleopod exopodal inner lobe, 5-dentate mandibular pars incisiva, and 5 spines on the last mandibular palp segment. The species is a member of the Ibero-Maghrebin messoulii group. It is an endemic representative of the Ourika valley groundwater in the Moroccan High Atlas. It derives from a littoral marine ancestor which could have colonized the continental subterranean water during Turonian or Senonian Tethyan regressions.

Achterberg, C. van.

The West Palaearctic species of the genera Gildoria Hedqvist, 1974, and Platyspathius Viereck, 1911 (Braconidae: Doryctinae) are revised. Five new species are described and illustrated: Gildoria elongata spec. nov. from Canary Islands, G. gijswijti spec. nov. from France, G. iberica spec. nov. from Spain, G. striata spec. nov. from Morocco and Platyspathius europaeus spec. nov. from France and Italy. The genus Gildoria is re-instated, Gildoria anthaxiae (Belokobylskij, 1983), G. grandis (Fahringer, 1930), G. planus (Ratzeburg, 1848), G. similis ( Bouc˘ek, 1955) and G. titubata (Papp, 1985) are new combinations, and Dendrosotinus ilanotensisC ˘ apek, 1992, is synonymized with Gildoria titubata (Papp, 1985). Doryctes lenticularis Granger, 1949, is designated...

Organic Eprints

EL MALOUI, Hamid.

Organic agriculture in Morocco is still in its infancy. In absence of domestic market, the whole production is exported towards the European market. Moroccan organic exports of fruits and vegetables are growing sharply. Yet, the exported quantity is still limited. The late establishment of national standards, the lack of public support, the absence of local market and the inadequate marketing structure are the main hindrances of organic production development in the Kingdom. The aim of this study is to identify the opportunities and constraints facing the organic production and marketing, to provide an understanding of the limitations of the existing production system and exports’ strategies, and to suggest how these limitations can be overcome and...

Study on the introduction of organic tomato greenhouse in Massa plain, Agadir, South Morocco

Organic Eprints

Ayoub, Mohamed.

Organic tomato is growing these last four years in Morocco. As the local market isn't promoting, a great effort has been done in order to get the international market and mainly an European one. The outside season production of tomato need the greenhouse. That's why a greenhouse production of organic tomato is an important point to deal with it. (JAMEA EL MOSTAFA, 23 july, 2003)

This report updates and expands the information contained in the IFOAM publication on the status of OF in several Countries, from Croatia to Morocco. It has been produced as first step toward a more focused investigation based on the Delphi method, to be implemented from September 2005 to September 2006. For each country, there are qualitative and quantitative information concerning farms, productions, trade, local and foreign markets, advice and research, legislation, projects, etc.

Water pricing options for the Middle Drâa River Basin in Morocco

Heidecke, Claudia; Kuhn, Arnim; Klose, Stephan.

This paper discusses the possible effects of various ways of charging for water in an integrated modeling framework adapted to the Drâa River Basin in southeastern Morocco. Declining surface water availability in the basin has led to an increase in groundwater use for irrigation in recent decades, even though groundwater extraction is more costly than using surface water. The trade-off between the pricing of ground and surface water is discussed based on recursive-dynamic simulations over a ten-year period. The results identify groundwater pricing as an economically and environmentally favorable option, assuming that revenues from water charges are redistributed to farmers.

EU Trade Preferences for Moroccan Tomato Exports--Who Benefits?

Chemnitz, Christine; Grethe, Harald.

The EU applies a complex system of preferences for tomato imports from Morocco. Quantities are fixed and serve as entry price quotas and tariff rate quotas at the same time. This paper provides empirical evidence of i) the existence of an economic rent under the EU preferential scheme for tomato imports from Morocco of about 24-36.5 mill. per year, and ii) the distribution of that rent. Due to the structure of the Moroccan export sector as well as the EU method of allocating import licenses, it is likely that a large part of the quota rent ends up at the Moroccan side and that a dissipation of the rent in physical rent-seeking activities is limited.

AN ANALYSIS OF IODINE DEFICIENCY DISORDER AND ERADICATION STRATEGIES IN THE HIGH ATLAS MOUNTAINS OF MOROCCO

Oldham, Elizabeth Anne; Barrett, Christopher B.; Benjelloun, Sabah; Ahanou, Brahim.

The population of the Ounein Valley in the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco is at high risk of iodine deficiency. We investigated local childrens iodine deficiency and goiter patterns as well as food consumption habits through a household survey. Median urinary iodine content and goiter analysis both reflect moderate iodine deficiency. Total fish consumption has a statistically significant, positive effect on urinary iodine content. Fish consumption, like that of salt, is closely related to market access. Respondents are uniformly unaware of the dietary etiology of goiter. An effective strategy to reduce the high incidence of iodine deficiency disorder among children in the valley must attend to four crucial issues: fish consumption, salt iodization,...

Environmental Services, Externalities and Agriculture: The Case of Mountain Tourism in Morocco

Trade Liberalization and Complementary Domestic Policies: A Rural-Urban General Equilibrium Analysis of Morocco

Khalil, Allali.

This study uses hedonic pricing techniques to estimate the value of agricultural amenities in Morocco's High Atlas Mountains. The analysis is limited to positive externalities related to land use, providing indicators to better inform policy decisions effecting rural and agricultural development. Advantages linked to landscape planning and its contribution to sustaining the tourism activity are documented. Amenities specific to mountain agriculture have a positive influence on the tourist accommodation rental market and particularly on farmhouses. These advantages include joint products linked to the farmhouses bordering cultivated areas, the scenery value of annual crops, the shade and attractiveness provided by walnut trees and the presence of domestic...
