# Sardine price in Morocco hits 30 dirhams despite export lead

> Morocco's deputy fisheries minister called the 30-dirham retail price for a kilogram of sardines unacceptable while presenting the 2027 fisheries budget to parliament. Sardines land at 4 to 5 dirhams in southern ports, rise to 15 at Casablanca wholesale, and reach 30 for consumers, and the minister announced reforms including domestic-market quotas.

## Why it matters

Morocco is a major sardine exporter, so domestic quotas could redirect fish away from fishmeal and export channels, a possible support for fishmeal prices. The effect on feed markets is indirect and depends on how the quotas are applied.
