Madar (Rabat) - Morocco's National Interprofessional Office for Cereals and Pulses (ONICL) has set the flat-rate subsidy for soft wheat imports for the current month of November at 46.77 dirhams per quintal, the news site Hespress reported on Monday, November 9, 2026.
That is a further increase: the subsidy was set at 44.48 dirhams per quintal in October and at about 20.80 dirhams in September, according to the same source.
The decision falls under the periodic compensation system, which aims to cover the gap between the total cost of importing soft wheat from international markets and the reference purchase price set for industrial mills. The source did not give the value of that reference price.
Professional sources quoted by the site put the price of soft wheat on European markets at around 305 dirhams per quintal.
Moroccan importers continue to buy soft wheat mainly from European markets, led by France, while the war between Russia and Ukraine is still affecting supplies from the Black Sea region, according to Hespress.
