YOUSSEF TAZI MEZALEK, Founding Partner de SouthBridge A&Ispoke on Wednesday May 15 on the panel “Investing in a sustainable fisheries future” at the International Forum of the Fishing Industry in Morocco.
L’occasion de partager des expériences et des solutions innovantes pour renforcer la durabilité de la performance de l’industrie halieutique ainsi que les résultats des études stratégiques réalisés par Southbridge A&I pour la FENIP .
The forum shed light on the Kingdom's true fishing resources and capacities. In a sector where sustainability also requires better value-added, Morocco's natural competitiveness, privileged positioning and favorable environment should enable it to carve out a major place among the world players in the sector.
Although the Moroccan seafood processing and freezing industries have experienced significant growth, supported by key players and strategic assets that position Morocco as a leading player, they remain far from the country's real potential. It is therefore necessary to consolidate and relaunch this dynamic within the framework of an assertive vision, backed up by specific tools (financing, services to the sector, training), underlying conditions and a strengthening of infrastructures and services.
La stratégie élaborée par Southbridge A&I avec la FENIP s’est construite autour d’une vision large et partagée, d’éléments de vision à moyen terme et d’objectifs précis afin de positionner le Maroc comme un hub international de transformation et de valorisation des produits de la mer à horizon 2027, ambitionnant de tripler la valeur ajoutée de cette industrie.
During his intervention, YOUSSEF TAZI MEZALEK presented an outline of the vision and the fundamental measures to be implemented to sustainably exploit and add value to all seafood catches, while highlighting the numerous spin-offs and socio-economic stakes for the Kingdom.
