A Moroccan-German Agricultural Advisory Centre (CECAMA) was inaugurated on Saturday in Sidi Slimane by the Minister of Agriculture and Maritime Fisheries, Aziz Akhannouch, and the Minister Delegate to the German Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Peter Bleser. This project, which is intended to be a consecration of the dynamic of cooperation established between Morocco and Germany in the agricultural field, consists of improving the expertise of Moroccan farmers by using German technology. The training offer is aimed at agricultural advisors and users of agricultural machinery as well as technicians, consultants and trainers within associations. It is established in close collaboration with the National Office for Agricultural Advisory (ONCA). Initially, the project's activities focus on cereal crops and potatoes. CECAMA offers practical training in the field in the areas of machinery, equipment, inputs and agricultural business management. Extension to cattle breeding is envisaged from 2015. Shortly before the official inauguration of CECAMA, 16 training sessions for 459 participants had already been carried out.
