Morocco’s central authorities within the Ministry of the Interior have increased monitoring of food distribution and marketing channels. This move aims to clamp down on trade in spoiled goods and block routes used to reintroduce them into markets under the guise of low-price promotions, locally known as “الهوتة” (pronounced “hotta”). According to well-informed sources at Hespress, instructions have been issued to economic affairs departments in the various prefectures and regions of Morocco. The directive seeks to tighten control over these practices and protect consumers. The focus is on combating the circulation of substandard products offered at suspiciously low prices. This intervention underscores a commitment to food safety and consumer protection across Morocco. The initiative represents a broader effort to regulate the market and ensure fair trade practices.
