On August 7, 2026, Morocco's National Office for Food Safety (ONSSA) and Chile's Agricultural and Livestock Service (SAG) signed a cooperation protocol in Rabat to harmonize sanitary and phytosanitary procedures for agricultural product exchanges. The signing ceremony was attended by Chilean authorities, private sector representatives, and exporters.
The protocol aims to facilitate trade by aligning inspection and certification processes, reducing technical barriers, and ensuring food safety. It is expected to boost bilateral agricultural trade between the two countries.
This agreement is part of broader efforts to strengthen economic ties between Morocco and Chile, which have been expanding in recent years. The two countries have also been working on other cooperation areas, including investment and technology transfer.
The protocol is seen as a step forward in promoting mutual recognition of sanitary standards, which could lead to increased exports of Moroccan products to Chile and vice versa.
