❖ Positive points

• The trees are growing in good condition in the majority of provinces.
• Trees have a higher success rate in 2021 compared to last year.
• Farmers were very interested in planting more trees and working with us as a monitoring team, especially after they expressed their satisfaction with the quality of the trees they received from HAF this year, for example, in Errachidia province, where 90% of the trees are growing well.

❖ Some obstacles

• Traveling to far planting sites takes a significant amount of time.
• High temperatures affect our work, especially during the summer period.
• The rugged terrain and sometimes-missing roads as well as distance between farms force us to walk long distances to access planting sites, which extends the time expended for monitoring trees.
• Some trees were exposed to diseases that made them not grow in good conditions, especially pesero disease that affected the almond trees in Ait Attab in the Azilal province.
• The lack of water and the absence of wells forced farmers to travel distances in order to bring water to irrigate the trees (Zagora, Azilal…)
• Farmers who buy small quantities of trees raise monitoring costs considerably (effort, time, expense)

1. Monitoring / provinces and percentage of monitoring

The monitoring of trees this year was accomplished under difficult conditions that required a lot of effort, but despite all the obstacles we faced, we managed to overcome them and monitor many trees in a short time.
