Invest in Larache

Invest in Larache, Morocco: the country’s berry capital, Loukkos irrigated agriculture, agro-processing, fishing and the Roman site of Lixus on the Atlantic coast.

On the region’s Atlantic flank, Larache province is one of Morocco’s agricultural powerhouses. The Loukkos valley, irrigated by the Oued El Makhazine dam, supports high-value farming that feeds a dense agro-industrial fabric around Larache and Ksar El Kebir.

Morocco’s berry capital

Larache is the heart of Morocco’s red-fruit industry — strawberries, raspberries, blueberries — grown under greenhouse and delivered fresh or frozen to European shelves within 48 hours. Around this flagship: sugar crops, market gardening, cereals and a growing cluster of packing, freezing and processing plants.

Fishing and cold chain

The port of Larache operates trawlers, sardine boats and long-liners supplying canneries and freezing plants. Premium canning, marine by-products and cold-chain logistics are open fields for investors.

Heritage tourism

Facing the Loukkos estuary, Lixus — among the oldest Phoenician-Roman settlements of the western Mediterranean — and the Atlantic beaches of Ras R’mel anchor an emerging cultural and seaside destination, one hour from Tangier on the A1 motorway.

Logistics

  • A1 motorway through the province; high-speed rail at Kenitra (45 min);
  • Direct reefer-container export through Tanger Med;
  • Available farmland and industrial plots; territorial premium applicable in several districts.
