Fez — Moroccan ag-tech company Agri Edge used SIAM 2026 in Meknes to showcase a set of digital tools aimed at helping farmers produce more efficiently while cutting input use and improving profitability.
The company presented its solutions during the 18th International Agriculture Exhibition in Morocco (SIAM), which is currently running from April 20 to April 28 in Meknes under the theme of sustainability in animal production and food sovereignty.
SIAM’s official platform describes the fair as a major agricultural hub bringing together exhibitors, conferences, and international delegations around current sector challenges.
Fatima Zohra El Aiboude, Head of Growth and Innovation at Agri Edge, told Morocco World News (MWN) that the company focuses on decision-support tools for farmers and agribusinesses. “We are an ag-tech company that specializes in developing decision support tools for farmers and agribusinesses,” she explained, adding that the goal is to support “better crop production, more efficiently, more sustainably,” while improving “farmers’ livelihood and farmers’ profitability.”
New tools at the center of SIAM presentation
At SIAM, Agri Edge put the spotlight on two technologies: “Cattle Edge” and “Ferti Edge” for olive trees.
The company’s public materials describe “Cattle Edge” as a precision livestock platform designed for real-time cattle monitoring, while “Ferti Edge” is presented as a digital fertilization solution based on field data.
Agri Edge says its fertilization tools are meant to optimize nutrient use, reduce waste, and improve crop performance through data-driven recommendations.
El Aiboude told MWN that “Ferti Edge” helps olive growers improve fertilization through “data analytics, through AI, and through agronomic know-how.” She said the company is now able to help farmers “use less fertilizer by 20% and improve their yields by 24% for olives.”
Moroccan technology with export ambitions
The company is presenting a precision irrigation solution that “allows our farmers here in Morocco to reduce water consumption by 30%,” she further explained. At a time when water stress remains one of Morocco’s biggest agricultural concerns, that kind of positioning fits squarely into SIAM’s broader emphasis on sustainability, efficiency, and resilience.
Beyond the numbers, Agri Edge used the fair to make a broader point about domestic innovation.
El Aiboude told MWN the technologies on display are “100% made in Morocco,” and said they were developed by “Moroccan engineers, Moroccan data scientists, Moroccan web developers.” She added that the company can now “proudly say we export Moroccan tech to North America, to Europe, and to other countries in Africa.”
