Casablanca — Nearly 80 industrial companies received the “Made in Morocco” label certificates on Thursday in Casablanca, during a ceremony chaired by Minister of Industry and Trade Ryad Mezzour.
The label was launched during the third edition of the National Industry Day in November 2025. It aims to promote national know-how, improve the competitiveness of Moroccan industry, and strengthen the country’s economic sovereignty at a time when global value chains are changing.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mezzour said “Made in Morocco” reflects a national ambition built around a resilient, innovative, and competitive industry. He said the label recognizes the efforts of companies committed to excellence and helps increase confidence in Moroccan products internationally.
The minister also said the initiative is part of a broader vision to deepen the integration of local value chains, support competitive import substitution, and strengthen Morocco’s export market shares amid tougher global competition.
Among the certified companies is COSUMAR, which said it had obtained the label issued by the Moroccan Institute for Standardization. The certification confirms the Moroccan origin of its products, as well as compliance with strict standards on quality, safety, and regulations.
COSUMAR said the distinction recognizes a model developed gradually since 1929 and based on a fully integrated value chain. Through its agricultural, industrial, logistics, commercial, and export activities, the group brings together more than 80,000 partner farmers and 1,300 employees.
The group’s operations cover the full chain, from agricultural production to industrial processing and export. COSUMAR said this reflects its ability to meet the most demanding international standards.
Morocco’s sugar sector continues to hold an important place in the national economy. COSUMAR currently has an industrial network made up of seven sugar plants and two refineries across the country, with a total production capacity of 2.5 million tons per year.
In 2025, the group reached a record level, producing more than two million tonnes of white sugar. Of that total, 1.2 million tonnes were intended for the Moroccan market, while 851,000 tons were exported to more than 90 countries.
According to the ministry, the companies were selected after an evaluation process based on international best practices. It included analysis of compliance evidence, on-site audits, and a continuous monitoring mechanism meant to ensure the label remains valid over time.
