Morocco is piloting hemp-based poultry feed as part of broader efforts to establish a national cannabis framework, according to HempToday. The move suggests policymakers are exploring value-chain applications beyond therapeutic and medical products—a category in which Morocco has already matured significantly.

Prior coverage shows Morocco produced over 140 therapeutic cannabis products and hit 19,576 quintals of legal production in 2025, with BluePearl Seeds obtaining the first certified cannabis seeds domestically in July 2026. The poultry feed test appears designed to diversify commercial outlets and potentially legitimize hemp cultivation beyond the medical sector.

Watch whether the poultry feed pilot translates into a formal regulatory pathway for industrial hemp in feed applications, and whether success accelerates broader agribusiness integration into Morocco's cannabis framework.
