Cosumar Reaffirms Its Commitment to Food Sovereignty and Made in Morocco

At the 3rd edition of the National Industry Day, held on November 3 and 4 in Rabat, the Cosumar Group reaffirmed its commitment to the food sovereignty of the Kingdom and the promotion of “Made in Morocco.” This event, held under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI and organized by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce in partnership with CGEM, marked the official launch of the “Made in Morocco” label, hailed by Cosumar as a strategic initiative to enhance domestic production and Moroccan craftsmanship.

An Industrial Pillar in Support of National Production

As a civic-minded company and a historic player in the sugar industry, Cosumar confirms its mission to produce in Morocco, using Moroccan resources for the benefit of Moroccans. The Group emphasizes its role in:

• securing the national sugar supply,

• supporting a high-performing agricultural and industrial sector,

• promoting “Made in Morocco” as a lever for territorial development.

For nearly a century, Cosumar has built its growth on local production and the excellence of Moroccan expertise.

A Modern Industrial Capacity Focused on Exports

Established in five major regions with seven sugar mills and two refineries—including the Sidi Bennour refinery, which will be operational from 2024—Cosumar has an annual production capacity of 2.5 million tons of white sugar.

This infrastructure ensures stable supplies for the domestic market while allowing Moroccan sugar to shine internationally. The Group exports nearly one million tons annually to over 80 destinations, without subsidies, thereby strengthening Morocco’s position among the global players in the sector.

Cosumar also supplies the entire Moroccan food industry with sugar, a vital input for national industrial competitiveness.

A Sustainable Agricultural Model Engaging 80,000 Farmers

Cosumar’s sugar industry operates on an aggregation model that involves 80,000 partner farmers. Aligned with national policies regarding food sovereignty and sustainability, this model is based on:

• multi-year contracts,

• structuring financial support,

• technical assistance provided by over 120 engineers and agricultural advisors.

Cosumar has also launched “Attaissir,” a 100% Moroccan digital platform dedicated to crop monitoring, input management, and field coordination. This solution manages over 2,000 collection vehicles and agricultural equipment, improving traceability, operational efficiency, and transparency.

A Dynamic Ecosystem at the Heart of Rural Development

Surrounding the sugar industry are 374 SMEs specializing in agricultural inputs, mechanized work, and logistics. Through this ecosystem, Cosumar contributes nearly 3 billion dirhams to the rural economy each year, reinforcing social cohesion and stimulating territorial development.
