A video clip circulating on social media showing the sale of sardines for 5 dirhams per kilogram has raised questions among Moroccans, especially as the price of sardines in Moroccan markets has reached 25 dirhams, despite the fact that their price in the ports does not exceed 3 dirhams.
Many professionals attribute this dramatic rise to the multiplicity of intermediaries in the distribution chain, as the fish passes through several stages from the fisherman to the consumer, which leads to a doubling of prices due to speculation and profit margins imposed by each intermediary.
In light of this situation, citizens are calling for the intervention of the competent authorities to control prices and curb the greed of middlemen, to ensure that sardines – one of the most consumed fish in Morocco – reach tables at fair prices commensurate with the purchasing power of citizens.
The question of rising prices in Moroccan markets remains strongly raised, amid demands to activate strict control mechanisms to fight speculation and ensure that consumers benefit from the country’s fish wealth.
The debate over the issue of prices in Morocco continues, as questions are raised about the effectiveness of monitoring and control mechanisms to ensure that consumers are protected from unjustified speculation.
