Small-scale farmers in the Zakoura region of Morocco have expressed dissatisfaction with the unavailability of organic, insect-resistant watermelon seeds. Sector actors in Zakoura are surprised by the lack of seeds resistant to aphids, which cause “Bouassal” disease, a condition that spreads during the spring growth phase. Farmers are questioning which entity will supply them with these seeds to produce organic red watermelon. The issue arises following a recent global decision impacting seed availability. The lack of these specialized seeds threatens the production of organic watermelons in the area. This scarcity poses a significant challenge to local farmers and the sustainability of organic watermelon farming in Zakoura. The article, originally published on Hespress - هسبريس جريدة إلكترونية مغربية, highlights the urgency of addressing this agricultural concern.
