ABOUT US
Overview
Overview
Here, we present you with an overview of our agricultural and fisheries display, underscoring our standards of freshness, taste, and quality – a “so Moroccan” sense of excellence that you will get to experience from the first email exchange or phone call all the way to the deliciousness of your plate.
Our ambition is to demonstrate to all stakeholders in the UK fish and seafood industry (suppliers, buyers, logistics partners, retailers, and consumers) that every step of the collaboration will be grounded in international quality standards.
This approach, initiated by Morocco Foodex, the country’s Autonomous Export Control and Coordination Institution, also reflects a desire to renew ties with a historical economic partner that has been unfairly neglected due to various circumstances linked to EU regulations.
Following the BREXIT, the United Kingdom has become a direct partner of Morocco, with all the advantages that this implies for both sides in terms of ease of communication, traceability, logistics, transport, and, above all, transparency.
