- <p>Excerpt from World Trade Outlook 1992: Near East
- </p>
- <p> Lower sales of aircraft and military equipment brought U.S.
- exports to Morocco down by 19 percent to $403 million in 1991.
- Improving conditions in the Moroccan economy, further
- liberalization of foreign trade regulations, and forward
- movement in several development projects should help American
- sales to grow to over $450 million this year.

- <p>U.S. exports 1991--$403 million U.S. imports 1991--$151
- million

- <p> Morocco's current development plan sets a priority on growth
- in agricultural production and development of the country's vast
- fishing resources. These projects provide a ready market for
- U.S. farm and irrigation equipment and equipment for new fishing
- ports and cold storage facilities. In addition, Moroccan
- companies are increasingly approaching U.S. companies to
- substitute new sources of supply for their traditional European
- partners. Excellent prospects for American exports include hotel
- and restaurant facilities, telecommunications equipment, textile
- machinery, food packaging and processing equipment, industrial
- chemicals, and medical equipment.
