| Résumé : | The literature has defined the potential benefits of using precision agriculture (PA) technologies (preservation of natural resources, savings on inputs, efficiency of agricultural interventions, etc.). However, the adoption of these innovations remains dependent on factors linked to the farmer, his environment, and, in some cases, the technology itself. Like numerous other countries, Morocco is witnessing the introduction of a number of precision farming tools and techniques. The genesis of this process of diffusion of these innovations prompted us to carry out an exploratory qualitative study through a survey of potential actors in the PA technology market in order to define a state of the art for Morocco. Our survey covered 30 companies offering PA technologies on the Moroccan market. Around 40% of these businesses had been operating since the 1990s, while 20% joined the sector in the 2020s. The interviewees confirmed that climate change, adaptation to international market trends, and domestic market demand are factors that justify the importance of integrating PA technologies into the agricultural sector. Additionally, the analyses highlight that the context of agriculture in Morocco (farm size, farm income, quality of labor, and dependence on state subsidies) presents challenges to the adoption of these new technologies by farmers. The findings and recommendations presented in this study will serve as a reference for policymakers, agricultural machinery manufacturers, and service providers in order to develop interventions adapted to the national context to promote PA. |
