This article analyzes Moroccan agricultural policy and the limits of agricultural development. It reviews the role of the state and successive development plans, from the post-independence period through the early 1980s, and examines the contradictions of agricultural development. The authors study the economic and social effects of state intervention, including uneven growth, externally oriented production, land allocation, and the promotion of dominant agrarian interests.
