EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The kingdom of Morocco is the North African countries known as the Maghreb - the

"Arab West". Its rich culture is a blend of Arab, Berber, European and African

influences. The capital city is Rabat. The official language is Arabic and various

Berber dialects are spoken. Morocco was a French protectorate from 1912 to 1956,

when Sultan Mohammed became king. Moroccos long struggle from France ended

in 1956. He was succeeded in 1961 by his son, Hassan II, who ruled for 38 years and

played a prominent role in the search for peace in the Middle East. The official

language is Arabic and various Berber dialects are spoken. When pledging to do

something, a Moroccan Muslim says Insha Allah, or "if God wills it." Before doing

something, a Muslim should say Bismillah, or "In the name of God." The Moroccan

Dirham (MAD) is the currency of Morocco. There is a small but active stock

exchange in Casablanca. The currency code for Dirhams is MAD. The Cherifian

Anthem has been the anthem of the Kingdom of Morocco even before the country

gained its independence in 1956. Its music was written by Lo Morgan, and the final

Arabic lyrics by Ali Squalli Houssaini in 1970. Morocco today remains one of only a

handful of continuously stable countries in the Middle East and North Africa, ruled

by what many would describe as a strong and widely popular monarchy. In after

month of Arab spring, many hoped that authoritarian regimes in the North African

regimes in the North African state of Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Algeria and morocco

would be swept from power and new democratic governments would replace them

yet the transition from the old authoritarian rule to a new democratic order has not

been smooth.

The Moroccan economy improved in 2013, with overall growth of 4.7% supported by

good agricultural results. Indeed, agricultural value added increased by 21%,

compared to a fall of 2.5% in non-agricultural activities. Moroccos oil industry is an

crucial sub-sector in the economy. It has two oil refineries at Sidi Kacem & at

Mohammedia. Morocco has an active chemical industry. The tourism industry is

growing and brings in a large portion of the countrys foreign exchange earnings.

2

GDP in 2013 was 8.6%. This is forecast to rise by 8.1% in 2014. The agriculture,

fishing & forestry sector employ over a 3rd of the working population & arable land

is used for commercial farming. Growth has been volatile as a result of recurrent

drought condition & unemployment remains high. The construction industry is one

of the most important industries for the Moroccan economy, accounting for 14.8%

of GDP in 2012. Growth in the residential construction market will be supported by

number of affordable housing projects. The textile industry is the smallest compared

to leather as contribution 15% to the national GDP. Todays textile mills are mostly

state-owned and provide input for products destined for the domestic market.

Leather sector is one of the traditional sectors in the Moroccan economy. Most of

the leather industry still operates in small workshops. However, with an increasing

international focus companies are transforming to accommodate complexities of

international buyers. This transition is supported by the State and the Moroccan

Federation of Leather Industries (FEDIC). Morocco entered the 21st century in

economic decline. Some progress has been achieved as the government has

curtailed spending, increased privatization, reduced trade barriers, and stopped

direct credit and foreign exchange allocation. Morocco trade position should

improve as its major trade partners in Europe experience growth & the economic

recovery in Asia. The pace of moroccos economic reform program, however, has

been rather slow.

Morocco has the second-largest non-oil GDP in the Arab world. The US-Morocco

Free Trade Agreement came into force on January 1, 2006. The agreement with

Turkey for free exchange. Morocco is currently our 69th largest goods trading

partner with $3.3 billion in total goods trade during 2013. Goods exports totalled

$2.3 billion. Totalled goods imports $977 million. In recent years, Morocco has

reduced its dependence on phosphate exports, emerging as an exporter of

manufactured and agricultural products, and as a growing tourism destination.

Morocco was the United States' 80th largest supplier of goods imports in 2013. The

five largest import categories in 2013 were: Fertilizers ($255 million), Salt, Sulfur,

Earth and Stone ($232 million), Electrical Machinery ($114 million), Woven Apparel

3

($90 million), and Prepared Meat, Fish, Etc ($43 million). The top export categories

(2-digit HS) in 2013 were: Mineral Fuel ($1.1 billion), Aircraft ($225 million), Food

Waste (soybean residues) ($165 million), Machinery ($147 million), and Dairy, Eggs,

Honey, ETC. ($119 million). Import of goods was going up 37.13% during the year

2009 to 2013. export of goods was 21822 million USD in 2013 that was increased by

1.89% from 2012 and up 55.27% from 2009. Import of services was decreased by -

1% from 2012 and up 22.75% from 2009. Export of services was increased by 100

million USD and also up 10.67% from 2009. Total export of commoditys growth was

falling down during the year 2010-2011 to 2013-2014. Total export to countrys

growth was also falling down. But share of commodity was increasing 5.2% compare

to previous year 2012-2013, that was 4.81% of share of commodity. Total import of

commoditys growth was falling down during the year 2010-2011 to 2013-2014, that

was 23.27% to -2.24. Total import to countrys growth rate was also falling down,

that was -32.84% in 2013-2014.

Morocco has overall export is Rs. 21,417(in US $). And import will be 44,790 (in US $). Export

is less and import will more. Trade between India 1,161. There is no direct fight between

India and morocco economy. Over the years, India and morocco have enjoyed cordial and

friendly relation and bilateral trade have witness for an significant growth of the electronic

industry.

The electronic and electrical industry in morocco is mainly concentrated to the electronic

components, electronic distribution equipment, electrical batteries and storage devices,

lamps and electric generators through these modern electronic products, the increases their

production. The export development of the electronic and electricity industry will increases

from 6,764 to 10, 507 (MAD million) in 2003 to 2006.

Morocco has increases their export and import of goods as well as services from 2003 to

2013 i.e. goods exports to Morocco in 2013 were $2.3 billion, up 6.0%.

Morocco mainly focuses the export on the Clothing and textiles, Transistors and Electric

components, Crude minerals and Inorganic chemicals, Petroleum products and Fertilizers,

Vegetables, Fish and the Citrus fruits. Total export of this commodity will be 10,298.51 in

2013-2014 and total export will be 385.61 million. Morocco was the United States' 57th

4

largest goods export market in 2013. U.S. goods exports to Morocco in 2013 were $2.3

billion, up 6.0% ($130 million) from 2012, and up 392% from 2003.

Import of morocco is also increases from the next years respectively by 32% in 2013. They

more emphases on the retail distribution channel and production development for the

growth of international trade. The imports item will be considering by morocco is mainly

Textile, Telecommunications equipment, Wheat, Gas and electricity, Transistors and Plastics

and crude petroleum. In 2013, morocco has 80th largest supplier of goods imported i.e. $977

million.

For countries in the developing world the electronics industry has proven to be an important

sector when trying to diversify their export and to improve their trade performances. This is

an industry that is classified as a dynamic sector due to it showing high annual growth in

export value and significant increase in its share of world trade which makes it a lucrative

industry to be part of. The Moroccan production of electronics and electrical products is

insignificant compared to international levels. Within this industry the most important factor

cost for Morocco is the cost of labour and the level of productivity. Though this cost is lower

than in the north it is higher than its Asian competitors.

Bilateral trade agreement is already there in between India and morocco country. The

relation between India and morocco go back to the 14th century when the famous travelled

to India. A number of bilateral and international issues of mutual interest were discussed

during the meeting. Total export of both the country will be increased by 50% from 2008-

2013. Export growth rate will be increases maximum level i.e. 27.19 because of commercial

and cultural relation, and from 2012-13 it will be continuously decreased.

Indias total export will be increases from 2008 to 2013 by 61%. The major portion of

bilateral trade is made up of import of phosphates and fertilisers by India and import of

textiles, transport equipment and machinery by Morocco. The trade between both countries

will be grown to $1.712 billion in 2010. In 2005 it will be 50% less than the current position.

Through the trade relation between India and morocco, they started joint-venture in

fertilizer industry i.e. IMACID.

Total trade pickup growth level in 2012 for a number of trade delegation from various

industry and export promotion council of India that have been visiting morocco periodically.

For an increases the trade opportunity between both the country, number of trade practices

5

and trade promotion activity are carry out such as expositions, buyer-seller meets, etc. are

organised. Growth rate of electronic and electric industry in the last six years in Gujarat is

86% while, Maharashtra comes second with 24% contribution for the country.

The government of Gujarat will announce the electronic policy for the power and electronic

segment which helps to create an employment opportunity and it also helpful to an

manufacturing and production activity to generate more revenue in the economy of india.

It is an important source for create an value chain from manufacturing industry to other

electronic sectors. The Gujarat government has encourages small & medium enterprises and

large industries for an investing upto RS.100 crores and also to provide subsidy of Rs. 25 lakh

for growth of electronic investment. They works for the promotion of the electronic

industry.

There are many players involved in the electronic industry expansion like, Shree Ram

Electronics, Shah Electronics, etc. Gujarat Electronics & Software Industries Association is

works for the promotion of the software and also provides the solutions of common issues

as well as for networking offices at state level.

Electronics and electrical industry of morocco with analyze the steepled we found

that society of country is eager to adopt the new technology and new improvement

in electrical and electronic industry. As per there major ratio of young generation

moving towards technological environment. society of morocco moving towards

urban lifestyle with using electronic and electrical product consumption as one study

shows they are moving towards using desktop to laptops.

Technology have very strong connection with electrical and electronics. Changes &

innovation impact on this industry. As morocco is becoming dynamic industry of

information technology and communication as per report of October 2009 ministry

of morocco. Trade and ministry of launched new morocco digital strategy in 2013

with budget of 5.2 million dollars. The main objective of this policy to promote and

develop new technologies and by focusing four priority social transformation

through information technology; orientating public services towards users;

computerizing small and medium-sized enterprises; and developing the national IT

industry.

Morocco has mid size economy the country have main relation with European Union

with France .as this country is largest creditor of morocco. Changes of economics

that recession in 2008-2009 in u .k economy the industry of electrical and electronics

have negative impact of it.

Environmental have really come in to focus as it a major problem of all country.

Environmental condition has great impact of electronics and electrical in some way

or some way not. They are mainly focused on four crucial environment acidification;

carbon footprint; total energy consumed; and water eutrophication. So Moroccan

legal system have a Nemours law for e- waste management namely Law 10-95 on

water, Law 13-03 on air pollution, Law 12-03 on environmental impact studies, and

Law 11-03 on the protection of the environment.

Electrical and electronics industry is affected by so many government policies.

Government providing financial support to start business in IT sector .it has

encouraged many entrepreneur in electronics and electrical business to manufacture

and sales in morocco. Government of morocco develop the IT industry with certain

programmed like INJAZ, GENEI, MOUSANADA, INFITAH, Strengthening the business

environment of electrical and electronic industry in Morocco is a policy goal of the

government. One legal issue is disposal of electronic and electrical product.

Government initiates some program about recycling the product. Which product

covered this segment household appliances, telecommunications equipment,

audiovisual and lighting equipment, electrical and electronic tools, medical devices?

There are some ethics established by Moroccan government about electronics and

electrical industry. Retailer is providing way to disposal while selling the electronic

product. Provide all information to consumer about product description to waste

and it should be printed also some store are providing service of talking back goods

for disposal.

7

Demographic and cultures aspect include in social environment in India influence the

electronic and electrical industry. Social factor such a health conciseness, consumer

health rates, population rate. Here which product have advance technology despite

of their income they are interested in simplicity product. Home life changes have big

influence in consumer expectation and attitude. Here social factor involves costumer

Income, attitude, and expectation.

Technological aspect is highly aggressive in electronic and electrical industry. As a

new technology and product develop and the market competitor has already made

it. Here innovation is only key to survive in the market. So in electronic industry

company are changing their product constantly as green initiate passed new

technology product must be more efficient in power energy consumption and less

costly. In India context peoples are price sensitive and cost sensitive. So they are

interested to buy product which consume less energy and lower price

Economical environment affect the electronic and electrical industry by past two

decade in television sector but economic is growing rapidly with contribution of IT

sector .as Indian electrical and electronic market jump US$ 32 billion to US$ 150

billion from 2004 to 2010. India have low manufacturing costs, skilled labor, raw

materials, availability of engineering skills and opportunity to meet demand in the

populous Indian market have contributed in electronic and electrical industry. In

global recession 2008-2009 India s electronic and electrical production decrease by

11 % after that this industry have compound annual growth of 8% in period 2010-

2014.

Climate is unpredictable and controllable and this threat for electronic and electrical

industry and also it gives an opportunity for the industry. It is an important factor for

industry as it affects the consumer behaviour and expectations.

Political have direct affect to the electronic and electrical industry by involving new

changes everyday. It is about that minimum wages for labor in electronic and

8

electrical industry that changes every year. And also government play major role in

company social responsibility (CSR). Indian budget 2014 declare that custom duty of

LED and LCD decrease below 19 inch that boost for industry and now it is zero .so

they will more cheaper. As mobile phones have 10% custom duty that India have

largest market in telecom so such company like i-phone, nexus will be costly in

market and also government is working on digital India program that will make

effect electronic and electrical industry.

March 2005 after Being a signatory to the Information Technology Agreement (ITA-I)

of the World Trade Organization India promoting reform in internet communication

and entertainment that effect the electronic and electrical industry. There is no

restriction in public sector .private sector are welcomed in all area. In term of

electrical and electronic are freely importable and exportable in some area by

government norms. Like high power microwave tubes, high end super computer and

data processing security equipment.

There Nemours grass group for in resistance to involve in new technology and

development in India.IN 21st century they are welcoming the technology and

innovation in every segment like e.g. .information technology and automotive

market. In ethical environment issue is about how to disposal them.

Morocco country have contribution of 15.1%, 31.7% , 53.2% I economy by sector

agriculture , industry and service respectively as year of 2012 major contribution in

GDP were agriculture ,real estate finance and retail business.

Import export of morocco increasing by year to year after 2009. Import of good and

service was 38183 million USD in 2009 and 51,598 million USD in 2013 .it show the

very significant difference .as well export of good and service was 25,946 million USD

in 2009 and 34,982 million USD 2013. Figure show the different between import and

export that import of morocco is higher than export that opportunity for us.

9

Morocco has top five origins for export like France, Spain, Brazil, India, and Italy.

Those products of mainly in exports are like Insulated Wire, Mixed Mineral or

Chemical Fertilizers, Calcium Phosphates, Phosphoric Acid, Non-Knit Women's Suits.

Electronics and electrical product export of morocco it increase in 2011 with double

with growth of 110%. After that its decreases in years with 33 %, 32 %, 2.28 %

respectively in 2012 to 2014. As per share of this commodity also decrease with

share of 14.33 to 5.2 % in year 2014. That shows that weakness in achieving global

electronic and electrical demands to cater.

Morocco country mainly imports the Refined Petroleum, Crude Petroleum,

Petroleum Gas, Cars, and Wheat. And they imported majorly by this country like

Spain, France, China,

United States, Saudi Arabia. Import of this electronics and electrical was highest in

2010 after that import was declining continuously with 24.39 % and 39.34 % and

5.39 % in year 2011, 2012, 2014 respectively As share of electrical and electronics

share highest in total import of morocco in 2010 and decrease till 2013 after that in

2014 share of this commodity was increases to .23 to .32 % in total import.

India has increases their import as well export i.e. 20% for the every year. Growth

rate of trading for import will be positive. Export will be reduces than the import.

Total trade will reduce in 2013-14. Total growth will be increases from 2010 to 2013.

Total import increases at 7.5%. Total share will be decreases from every year.

Overview of country

The Kingdom of Morocco, also known as the Maghreb or the Arab West, is the most

westerly of the North African countries. The Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines

and rugged mountain interiors speaks the beauty of the countrys geography. It

unconventionally holds a history of independence unlike its neighbours. Moroccan

culture depicts a rich blend of Arab, African, Berber and European influences.

When Sultan Mohammed became king, Morocco was a French outpost from 1912 to

1956. Hassan II, son of Sultan Mohammed succeeded him in 1961, who in his regime

of 38 years played a prominent role for the search of peace in the Middle east. Few

of his initiatives envisages commission for ensuring human rights, suppression of

Domestic opposition and such.

A former capital, Marrakesh is famed for its architecture

Mohammed VI, son of Hassan was a step ahead of him and a cautious moderniser

introducing some social and economic liberalization. Despite various political

instabilities from 1975 till 2011, Morocco balanced itself.

Religion

Islam is the state religion with majority of Moroccans being Muslims. Karaouine

Mosque is the largest mosque in Africa built in AD 862 is located in the Moroccan

city of Fez. Besides, a small number of people of about 70,000 are Christians in

Morocco, mainly Roman Catholics; and a very small minority envisage Jewish of

about 6,000 to 7,000.

The Flag of Morocco:

The Flag of Morocco with a green star on complete red connotes great values and

aspects of motivation. The red background on the Moroccan flag denotes bravery,

13

valour, hardiness and strength; while the green coloured, five-pointed star is the

representative of the Seal of Solomon.

Moroccan Anthem

Even before the country gained its independence in 1956, the Cherifian Anthem is

Moroccos national anthem and continues to be. The music of the anthem is

contributed by Leo Morgan, and the lyrics by Ali Squalli Houssaini in the year 1970.

Current economic scenario

Despite the slowdown in world economic growth, Moroccan economy consolidated

its growth in 2013 with GDP rising to 4.7 percentage compared to 2.7 percentage in

2012. This can be attributed to the vibrant agricultural sector of the country.

However, in the current year, the non-agricultural activities were somewhat less

dynamic compared to 2012. In 2013, the overall exports were down by 4% due to

the decline of almost 28% of exports of phosphates and its derivatives. The only

exports to gain advantage from the recovery of external demand were capital goods,

in specific electrical cables and wires.

Moroccan government continued with a sound macroeconomic and fiscal

management in 2013. A vigilant monetary policy held inflation at 1.9% and the aided

reduction of GDP to 7.2%, which was 10% in 2012. It also helped increase the foreign

exchange reserves by 4.5 months of imports of goods and services. However, the

fiscal deficit reached 5.3% of GDP to which government took corrective measures to

improve revenue collection and lowered public investment for 2014 with an

objective to bring fiscal deficit down to 3% of GDP by 2016. Research states that

reforms of the compensation fund and the application of an indexation system for

petroleum products will be needed to achieve this objective.

However, the overall performance of the Moroccan economy has been encouraging

and advantageous from the perspective of political and social stability.

14

The business environment has seen an improvement. Several indicators to this

seems to be the country moving up eight places in the annual World Bank Doing

Business report, climbing from 95th to 87th in one year. Besides, 2013 has witnessed

improvement in tourism revenue (+2%), transfers from Moroccans living abroad and

a significant increase in foreign direct investment (+20%).

Despite the overall economic improvement, Morocco has not been able to solve the

issue of youth employment (15-24 years of age), which has reached to 19.1% in

2013. A positive signal for employment and growth of various businesses is

Moroccan governments focus on implementation of reform programme in terms of

subsidies, taxation, retirement, fiscal system and social protection. The main

objective for the same is (i) to improve upon the efficacy of public finances; and (ii)

to support the development of an inclusive growth model supported by the private

sector and that generates jobs for young people.

These reforms are accompanied by investments in targeted sectoral strategies to

accelerate the transformation and diversification of its economy, which in turn will

lead to employment creation.

The National Pact for Industrial Emergence (PNEI, 2009-15) intends to stimulate the

industrial sector and to enhance its competitiveness, and is thus a vital framework

for launching industries. This provides a competitive advantage to Morocco. With

these reforms, Morocco aims to create 2,20,000 new jobs by 2015. The new-fangled

aeronautical and automobile industries embody an important source of economic

growth and innovation for Morocco.

Political stability

Morocco is marked as one of only a handful consistently stable country in the Middle

East and North Africa, under the rule of what many would illustrate as a strong and

widely popular monarchy. In a region that has experienced sustained political

turmoil since protests erupted in Tunisia in December 2010, the US has a continued

15

interest in deepening and broadening its existing security partnership with the

country, as a key tool for furthering US foreign-policy interests in and countering

regional security threats emanating from neighbouring states in North Africa and the

nearby Sahel. The visit by US Secretary of State John Kerry to Morocco to meet his

counterpart, Salaheddine Mezouar, and Moroccan King Mohammed VI in April

offered an important opportunity to discuss ways to further advance the historic

strategic partnership between the two countries.

Current news and developments in the country

The economy of Morocco improved in 2013. Despite of fall on 2.5% in non-

agricultural sectors, the credit for this can be given to the overall growth of 4.7

percent supported by good agricultural results, especially in cereal productions.

Further, good rain is the cause benefiting the primary sector. Other agricultural

sectors, livestock farming and offshore fishing also experienced sustained growth,

getting advantage from sectoral public investment programmes, especially the

Morocco Green Plan and the Maritime Halieutis Plan. In all, the agricultural sectors

value supplemented growth by 21% in 2013, making nearly 15% contributions to

GDP. However, unfavourable weather conditions and low levels of precipitation for

2014 are expected to impact results negatively for the current year.

As discussed above, the manufacturing industries irregular and weak growth in 2013.

The secondary sector contributed less than 15% to the GDP and the growth of only

0.6% was marked compared to 2012. However, certain industries mainly, the

aeronautical and automobile experienced significant increases in exports: more than

14% and 20%, respectively. Results for agri-food and pharmaceutical industries were

also positive, making contribution to exports. But, real estate, construction, leather

and textiles had negative growth rates owing to strong hit by fall in European

demand. However, forecasts shows recovery in three sectors: i) a recovery in the

extractive industries (5.6% in 2014 compared to 0.4% in 2013); ii) improved growth

across all processing industries (4% in 2014 compared to 1.8% in 2013), in particular

in the textile-clothing sector; and iii) a return to growth in the building and

construction sector (4% in 2014 compared to -1.6% in 2013).

The PNEI reform seems a positive hope for the revival of coutnrys industrial sector

especially automobile and aeronautical industries. Especially, the automobile sector

has been very vibrant with growing exports, since the inauguration of the Renault

factory in February 2012. In aeronautics, the other Moroccan high performer,

activities are diversified across the whole value chain, covering everything from

production and dedicated services to maintenance and engineering. Moroccos

aeronautical industry now envisages about 100 companies, including some of the

biggest groups in the world, such as Aerospace, Aircelle, Bombardier, EADS and

Safran. The industry employs more than 100000 highly skilled workers with turnover

of more than 8 billion Moroccan dirhams (MAD), and an annual growth rate in

turnover of 25% over the last five years.

Growth in non-manufacturing industries has shown weak results in 2013. Phosphate

production, once a stronghold of Moroccan industry, fell by more than 2%,

shimmering lower external demand. This under-performance is due to the major fall

in sales overseas. Research says that if external demand rises in 2014, a recovery

could be expected.

The tertiary sector sustained to prop up Moroccan growth in 2013, but at a

somewhat slower rate than in 2012, depicting the slowdown in the growth of value

added in the public sector. Overall, telecommunications and commerce was the

centre for growth in the tertiary sector. Consequently, the enlargement of telephony

and Internet networks has been affirmative and telecommunication service coverage

has expanded. Overall telephony stock was reinforced by a growth rate of 6.6% and

20

44.3 million subscribers, while Internet services rose by 34.7% or 5.2 million

subscribers at the end of October 2013. Tourism has also shown signs of tourism

with growth rate of 4.8% in 2013. Overall overnight stays and travel revenue also

rose by 5% and 13%, respectively. In 2014, the tertiary sector is expected to maintain

this trend of growth at an estimated rate of +5.1%, boosted by strengthened

telecommunications, commerce and transport. The tourism sector is also expected

advance slightly.

MAJOR CONTRIBUTING INDUSTRIES IN TERMS OF

VALUE

Phosphate mining and processing industry:

With the three-quarters of the worlds estimated reserves of phosphates, Morocco

was the worlds third ranked producer of phosphates, with only China and Us ahead

of it. It controlled one third of the international trade in phosphates and their

derivatives. These mineral commodities and products were Moroccos leading

foreign exchange earning sector and accounted for about 35% of foreign trade. As a

result, the mining industry continued to play a key role in the national economy

(Arab-Greek Chamber, 2009). Despite a slow growth of phosphate and derivative

sector in 2013, forecasts shows signs of recovery in 2014.

Morocco produced 17% of the worlds output of phosphate rock, 6% of the worlds

output of barite, 2% of the worlds output of cobalt, 2% of the worlds output of

fluorspar, and 1% of the worlds output of lead (Guberman, 2010; Jasinski, 2010;

Miller, 2010a,b; Shedd, 2010).

This was one of the major reasons of US signing Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with

Morocco, and it becoming the first African country to have an FTA with the United

States (U.S. Department of State, 2009). It also had an FTA with European Union;

Turkey, Arab Maghreb Union (made up of Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia); and Pan-

Arab Free Trade Area. The Arab-Mediterranean Free Trade Agreement between

21

Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, and Tunisia entered into force in 2007. Most of Moroccos

trade was with the European Union (EU) (International Trade Center, 2009).

Food processing industry:

Moroccos food processing industry gets the advantage of countrys temperate

climate, good soil and water resources. It is the second largest processing industry in

Morocco after the chemicals and para-chemicals sector. It generates an output of

USD 6.78 billion and an added value of USD 2.07 billion (31% of GDP).

With exports reaching USD 1.14 billion, the industry processes mainly fruit,

vegetables, meat, fish, milk products, oils, cereals, flour, grits, tobacco and

beverages.

The seafood sub-sector also gets the benefit from Moroccos 3,500 km coastline

which is known for its richness in context of fish. Production capacity that has been

approximated by the FAO is nearly 1.5 million tons annually. Morocco is considered

the largest fish producer in Africa and the Arab world. This sub-sector yields up to

50% of processed food exports and 12% of total Moroccan exports.

Leather industry:

This is one of the traditional sectors in the Moroccan economy. It was one of the

major contributor of the national GDP. Moroccan cities with traditional leather

business and major leather production envisage Fez, Meknes, Marrakech, Rabat,

Tetouan, Tangier.

The product portfolio reaches from personal leather goods, to bags and briefcases,

garments, and footwear. Footwear is the largest product category. Subcontracting

plays a vital role in the leather industry. Similar to its textile industry, Moroccan

leather industry has also shown a trend of vertical integration to meet the demand

for integrated global solution. Companies have also developed brands for

international market. Competition is posed by Asian leather industry. Because of the

22

integrated model, high quality brands such as Pierre Cardin and Louis Vuiton have

started producing in Morocco.

This transition from small workshops to making companies satisfying international

buyers is supported by the State and the Moroccan Federation of Leather Industries

(FEDIC). Due to the strategic importance of the leather industry the PNEI plan applies

to this industry as well. Collaboratively these measures are geared towards export

promotion, training of employees, and modernising production processes.

Textile industry:

The textile industry is small compared to leather industry. Supply chain relationships

developed under the OPT agreements as well as limited investment during these

years led to a relatively high import dependence for textiles that act as inputs for the

clothing products. This is also reflected in employment figures, which have been

declining from 80,000 in 1996 to almost half of this in 2007.

Major textile mills are state-owned catering mostly to the domestic market.

However, investment activities by private investors has been picking up in recent

years, partially due to the conclusion of the US-Morocco FTA. This is a concern for

vertically integrated producers targeting on production for the export market. These

investments were supported by government incentives such as financial support

channelled through the Hassan II Fund, or through the provision of state land.

Construction industry:

The construction industry is one of the most important industries for the Moroccan

economy, accounting for 14.8% of GDP in 2012.

In 2013, in a bid to increase the supply of affordable housing and create jobs in the

country, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) announced its plan to invest

MAD420.3 million (US$50.0 million) in Alliances Group, a leading Moroccan home

23

builder, which will help the company to construct 110,000 affordable housing units

by 2020.

Energy sector:

Energy consumption has risen at an average annual rate of 5.7% from 2002 to 2011.

However, per capita energy consumption, at 0.52 tonnes oil equivalent (Toe) in

2011, is less than one third the world average (1.7% Toe). Moroccos focus on

energy-intensive sectors (chemicals, construction, etc.), on building infrastructure,

on tourism and industry will increase its long-term energy needs.

Morocco consumed 17,262 kToe of energy in 2011, with petroleum products

accounting for 61.9%. Coal is second (22.5%), followed by electricity trade (7.2%),

natural gas (4.6%) and RES, namely hydropower (3.0%) and wind power (1.0%).

Moroccos installed electricity generation capacity stood at 6,677 MW in 2012, with

coal-fired generation being the largest segment at 1,785 MW, followed by

hydroelectric at 1,770.

Morocco is the only North African country with no natural oil resources and is the

largest energy importer in the region. In 2011, the country imported 95.6% of its

energy demand, equal to MAD85 billion (about US$10.3 billion), up from MAD19.1

billion (roughly US$2.3 billion) in 2002. Petroleum imports account for 20% of total

imports and 50% of the current trade deficit. The leading supplier of Moroccos

energy requirements is Saudi Arabia at 48%.

Morocco has had to import increasing amounts of electricity from Spain through two

400kV subsea cables that span the 26-kilometre Strait of Gibraltar. Imports in 2012

were close to 5,000 GWh compared with 1,000 GWh in 2005.

The government of Morocco recently declared its initiation of a $11 billion

investment project in the countrys energy sector. The project is a direct feed back to

24

the increasing domestic demand of thermal energy. The project is one step forward

to providing alternative energy sources, protection of the environment, and

increasing competitiveness of the Moroccan economy.

Tourism industry:

The Moroccan government is investing heavily in the development of tourism

industry. Vision 2010 strategy for tourism helped it to grow. A large government

sponsored marketing campaigns to attract tourists positioned Morocco as a cheap

and exotic, yet safe, place for European tourists.

Morocco's relatively large number of tourists has been aided by its location, tourist

attractions, and relatively low price. The direct contribution of Travel & Tourism to

GDP in 2013 was MAD76.1 bn (8.6% of GDP). This is forecast to rise by 8.1% to

MAD82.3bn in 2014. This primarily reflects the economic activity generated by

industries such as hotels, travel agents, airlines and other passenger transportation

services (excluding commuter services). But it also includes, for example, the

activities of the restaurant and leisure industries directly supported by tourists.

The direct contribution of Travel & Tourism to GDP is expected to grow by 5.6% pa to

MAD141.5bn (9.7% of GDP) by 2024.

The manufacturing sector is progressively attracting new investments, encouraged

by the highly qualified workforce, high growth potential, export-oriented approach,

various diversified upstream industries, as well as the presence of major

international players (ABB, ST Microelectronics, Nexans, Ingelec, Thales, Alstom,

etc.). It is expected to grow further due to the expansion of the automobile sector,

the investment incentives offered by the State, the expansion of electronic

component sub-contracting, in which Morocco is becoming a global hub.

IMPORT EXPORT OF MORROCO

Morocco holds the second-largest non-oil GDP in the Arab world. In the past,

Morocco relied heavily on the exports of phosphate and its derivatives, which has

declined over the recent years. The country has now emerged as an exporter of

manufactured and agricultural products and its popularity as a tourism destination is

flourishing.

26

Morocco Trade: Overview

In recent years, Moroccos economy has been growing over 4% annually. This growth

has been helped by the establishment of Free Trade Agreements with the European

Union (Moroccos largest trading partner) and the USA. Also it has signed trade

agreements with several other partners.

The Agadir Agreement, which was signed with Egypt, Jordan and Tunisia, within

the framework of the Greater Arab Free Trade Area.

The US-Morocco Free Trade Agreement came into force on January 1, 2006.

The agreement with Turkey for free exchange.

Moroccan trade is still dominated by its main import and export partner France,

although France's share in Moroccan trade is declining, in favour of the US, the Gulf

Region and China. If seen as a single entity, the EU, with which Morocco has signed

its free trade agreement, is by far Morocco's largest trading partner.

Morocco has now abridged its dependence on phosphate exports, in recent years

emerging as an exporter of manufactured and agricultural products, and as a

growing tourism destination. However, its competitiveness in basic manufactured

goods, such as textiles, is hampered by low labour productivity and high wages.

Morocco is dependent on imported fuel and its food import requirement can rise

substantially in drought years, as in 2007. Although Morocco runs a structural trade

deficit, this is typically offset by substantial services earnings from tourism and large

remittance inflows from the Diaspora, and the country normally runs a small

current-account surplus.

U.S.-Morocco Trade Facts

Morocco is currently USs 69th largest goods trading partner with $3.3 billion in total

(two way) goods trade during 2013. Goods exports totalled $2.3 billion; Goods

imports totalled $977 million. The U.S. goods trade surplus with Morocco was $1.3

billion in 2013.

ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY IN MOROCCO

Consumer electronics records positive growth in 2012

2012 was a particularly good year for consumer electronics in Morocco. Volume and

value growth were positive as the industrys leading players dropped their prices in

order to remain competitive due to the price sensitivity of the majority of Moroccan

consumers. At the same time, there was increasing demand for new technologies

and more powerful and faster consumer electronics devices. In addition, many local

consumer electronics brands are recording stronger growth in their volume shares as

they are more suited to the consumption habits of Moroccan consumers as well as

meeting their desire for low unit prices. The consumer electronics category with the

highest number of local brands present remains computers and peripherals.

The Moroccan government moves towards its IT vision through Digital

Morocco

In order to position Morocco as a dynamic emerging country for information

technology and communications, in October 2009 the Ministry of Industry, Trade

and New Technologies launched the Digital Morocco 2013 strategy. Initially

endowed with a budget of US$5.2 million dollars, the programmes main objective is

32

to promote and develop new information technologies by focusing on four strategic

priorities: social transformation through information technology; orientating public

services towards users; computerising small and medium-sized enterprises; and

developing the national IT industry. In addition, the government is providing financial

support to businesses and start-ups in the IT sector as technology start-ups generally

have difficulty obtaining financing from Moroccan banks, the majority of which focus

mainly on supporting larger companies and conventional business. This has

encouraged many entrepreneurs to begin manufacturing consumer electronics

products for sale in Morocco and begin expanding into France, Senegal, Gabon and

Nigeria. The two most successful local players in this respect are Data Plus with its

RMC tablets and DBM with its Accent tablets and laptops.

The shift from desktops, notebooks and feature phones towards

tablets, laptops and smart phones led by government

Consumer electronics in morocco is rapidly becoming an industry marked by regular

technological improvements. This is possible thanks to various government actions.

The most important of these is INJAZ, a programme which aims to equip each

student with a computer internet connection. Telecommunications companies play

an important role in the development of this programme. The second government

programme is GENIE, which targets all public institutions and aims to upgrade all IT

infrastructures with better and faster performing computers, printers and

peripherals. Then there are the MOUSANADA and INFITAH programmes, which

target small and medium-sized enterprises with annual revenues not exceeding

US$300 000, providing them with financial support up to 60% of the cost of

refurbishing their offices with newer computers, televisions, telecommunications

equipment and In-car navigation devices for business purposes. Computers recorded

strong growth in Morocco during 2012 as the influence of government and banks

helped students gain access to personal computers at low prices. Moreover, many

Moroccan companies switched from desktops to the use of laptops in order to

provide greater flexibility to their employees, many of whom became more mobile

as a result.

33

Branded retail outlets gaining ground over informal retail distribution

channels

During 2012, the majority of international companies operating in consumer

electronics in Morocco saw their volume shares falling. Many new local and

international brands which offer products at more competitive prices than the

industry leaders began attracting the interest of Moroccos price-sensitive

consumers. The strongest brands in this respect were Haier and Edison in televisions,

RMC in tablets and Accent in laptops. Sales of consumer electronics through informal

retail channels continue to decline, to the benefit of well-established branded retail

outlets. The reason for this is that Moroccans are now looking more for consumer

electronics products which offer warranties as they feel that they cannot risk

purchasing consumer electronics through informal channels with no recourse to the

seller in the case that the device turns out to be defective.

Consumer electronics is set to record moderate growth over the

forecast period

Over the forecast period, consumer electronics in Morocco is expected to record

slow but steady growth. Tablets and other portable computers is expected to record

by far the most dynamic volume and constant value growth of any consumer

electronics category over the forecast period. As consumption of netbooks and

desktops is declining, tablets is gaining share in computers. Tablets and other

portable computers is set to increase in volume at a CAGR of 25% over the forecast

period, while constant value sales are set to increase at a CAGR of 13%.

The Moroccan production of electronics and electrical products is

insignificant compared to international levels.

The developing worlds trade in these products is dominated by East and Southeast

Asia but Morocco and a few other countries in the Middle East and North African

(MENA) region have recently embarked on the same route. Studies show that there

34

are a few product groups where the MENA region has a small but increasing share of

worlds exports. In 2003 the region had a 2,72% share of world exports in electrical

distribution equipments. This is of interest since Morocco has recently emerged as a

regional leader within production of electrical components. This would imply that a

large part of the MENA share stems from Morocco.

The electrical and electronics industry in Morocco is mainly concentrated to the

following six sub-sectors: wiring and cables, electronic components, electrical

distribution equipment, electrical batteries and storage devices, electric devices and

lamps and electric transformers and generators. While the production is small

compared to Moroccos traditional products, it is increasing.

INTERPRETATION:

India has increases their import as well export i.e. 20% for the every year. Growth

rate of trading for import will be positive. Export will be reduces than the import.

Total trade will reduce in 2013-14. Total growth will be increases from 2010 to 2013.

Total import increases at 7.5%. total share will be decreases from every year.

MoroccoIndia relations refer to the bilateral ties between Morocco and India.

Morocco has an embassy in New Delhi. It also has an Honorary Consul based in

Mumbai. India operates an embassy in Rabat. Both nations are part of the Non-

Aligned Movement.

In the United Nations, India supported the decolonization of Morocco and the

Moroccan freedom movement. India recognised Morocco on June 20, 1956 and

established relations in 1957. India and Morocco have enjoyed cordial and friendly

relations and over the years bilateral relations have witnessed significant depth and

growth.

For long, India has been one of the major markets for Moroccan phosphate and its

derivatives. Other main items of export to India are metallic ores and metal scrap,

semi-finished products and inorganic chemicals. The main items of India's exports to

Morocco are cotton yarn, synthetic fiber, transport equipment, pharmaceuticals,

agricultural implements, chemicals, spices and manufactured metals. Bilateral trade

has been growing in the past 10 years and reached US $ 1.2 in 2011.

An Indian joint venture in Morocco, IMACID, which was set up in 1999 to produce

phosphoric acid, is located at Jorf Lasfar, about 150 km. south of Casablanca. The

36

initial JV partners were M/s.Chambal Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd. of the Birla Group

from India, and Office Cherifien des Phosphates (OCP) on the Moroccan side. In

2005, Tata Chemicals Limited joined IMACID project as third and equal partner. This

JV project produces about 430,000 MT per annum of phosphoric acid, nearly all of

which is imported by India. The Moroccan phosphate organization, OCP, has

invested in Paradeep Phosphates Ltd. in India.

The bilateral trade has grown to $1.712 billion in 2010 from $573.87 million in 2005

with balance of trade in favour of Morocco ($611 million). The major portion of

bilateral trade is made up of import of phosphates and fertilisers by India and import

of textiles, transport equipment and machinery by Morocco.

Trade opportunity for morocco to trade in India

Inorganic chemicals, fertilizers (including phosphates), petroleum products, citrus

fruits, vegetables, fish, phosphate, fertilizers (including phosphates), This is the top

item that morocco exports and India imports so there is biggest trade opportunity

for morocco to export those items to India. As well as opportunity for India for

import those items at lowest cost from morocco.

Opportunity for India to trade in morocco

Moroccos major imports are crude petroleum, textile fabric, telecommunications

equipment, wheat, gas and electricity, transistors, plastics, motor vehicles, aircraft,

manufacturing equipment and computer and software and hardware computer

system.

So there is a biggest opportunity for India to trade textile fabric, telecommunications

equipment, wheat, gas and electricity, transistors, plastics, motor vehicles, aircraft,

manufacturing equipment and computer and software and hardware computer

system.
