The agricultural sector in the Lokos region has been experiencing a growing shortage of labor for several weeks. This scarcity has been exacerbated by the simultaneous harvesting of peanuts and the planting of potatoes. Farmers are also preparing land for the upcoming strawberry and red fruit growing season, further increasing demand. Local farmers in Lokos are facing increasing pressure due to rising labor costs, which directly impact production expenses. The situation poses a challenge to agricultural output and economic viability in the region. The issue was reported by Hespress, a Moroccan online newspaper.
