On the occasion of the 18th edition of the International Agriculture Show in Morocco (SIAM), held in Meknes under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist Him, COSUMAR Group renewed its participation in this major event for the national and international agricultural sector.

Through several thematic spaces, COSUMAR offered visitors an immersive experience into the world of the Moroccan sugar industry, highlighting its heritage, industrial expertise, technological advancements, and commitment to sustainable and innovative agriculture.

• Within “The Sugar Odyssey”, an experiential space specially designed for this edition, visitors discovered a retrospective showcasing the history of sugar in Morocco, the evolution of the industry, and the key milestones shaping today’s national sugar ecosystem. Through archives, historical objects, visual content, and immersive installations, this space offered a journey between heritage, innovation, and modernity.
• At the institutional stand, COSUMAR highlighted the strategic role of the sugar industry in national agricultural development, as well as the initiatives carried out alongside partner farmers to support agricultural performance, improve yields, and address climate-related challenges.
• The digital stand showcased the solutions developed by the Group’s Digital Factory, including digital tools and smart technologies dedicated to Agriculture 4.0, contributing to optimized resource management and close support for producers.
• This edition also provided an opportunity for the Group to highlight some of its industrial innovations, notably the LCO₂ project developed at the Casablanca Refinery. This innovative initiative, dedicated to the production of food-grade liquid CO₂, reflects COSUMAR’s commitment to enhancing its industrial processes while strengthening its innovation and sustainable performance dynamics.

This participation was also marked by numerous exchanges with visitors, professionals, institutional stakeholders, students, and national and international delegations who came to discover the initiatives led by COSUMAR in support of a high-performing, sustainable, and future-oriented agricultural sector.

Through its participation in SIAM 2026, COSUMAR reaffirms its commitment to actively contributing to the development of innovative and responsible agriculture, placing people, expertise, and innovation at the heart of its approach.

The Confédération Générale des Entreprises du Maroc (CGEM) has renewed the Corporate Social Responsibility Label awarded to three COSUMAR Group companies: COSUMAR S.A., SUTA and SUNABEL.

The Label has been renewed for a three-year period, following the recommendation of the Attribution Committee, following an evaluation conducted by an independent third-party expert accredited by the CGEM. This assessment reviewed the company’s practices in relation to the Corporate Social Responsibility Charter of the CGEM, structured around nine areas of commitment aligned with Moroccan social legislation and universal standards relating to social and societal responsibility.

For COSUMAR Group, this renewal further strengthens a long-term CSR approach implemented across all professions of the national sugar industry, from upstream agricultural activities in the regions of Doukkala, Tadla, Gharb and Loukkos, to industrial activities involving extraction and refining.

Beyond recognition at the institutional level, this distinction reflects the continuity of a structured improvement approach, serving the Kingdom’s food sovereignty and the sustainable development of sugar-producing regions.

COSUMAR Group, a longstanding partner of the “Lalla Al Moutaaouina” National Award, took part in the 7th edition of this initiative dedicated to promoting women’s cooperatives in rural areas.

Organized by the Office du Développement de la Coopération (ODCO), under the supervision of the Ministry of Tourism, Handicrafts and Social and Solidarity Economy, the award highlights initiatives led by women’s cooperatives engaged in local development.

During the ceremony held in Rabat on April 30, 2026, COSUMAR reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the economic inclusion of rural women, as part of its CSR strategy, through its support for the ZAITOUN ASSAF cooperative, located in Sidi Kacem.

Specialized in the production and marketing of olive-derived products, the cooperative stands out for its modern and natural production methods, without preservatives.

This support aims to strengthen the cooperative’s production capacities, notably through the acquisition of new equipment.

Since 2019, COSUMAR has supported 13 rural cooperatives, confirming its long-term commitment to inclusive development and the promotion of the social and solidarity economy.

À l’occasion de la première édition de l’Agro Export Day 2025, le Groupe COSUMAR a reçu le Trophée du Meilleur Exportateur de l’Année 2024, récompensant ses performances et son développement sur les marchés internationaux.

Cette distinction vient saluer l’engagement du Groupe en faveur du rayonnement du savoir-faire marocain à l’international, ainsi que la solidité de son modèle industriel, logistique et commercial.

Le Groupe COSUMAR exprime sa gratitude au Ministère de l’Industrie et du Commerce, ainsi qu’à la Fédération Nationale de l’Agroalimentaire (FENAGRI), pour l’organisation de cet événement et pour cette reconnaissance valorisant la dynamique export du Groupe.

Engagée dans cette stratégie depuis 2013, COSUMAR a développé un modèle d’exportation fondé sur la qualité, la conformité aux standards internationaux et l’efficacité opérationnelle, soutenu par une capacité de production globale de 2,5 millions de tonnes.

En un peu plus d’une décennie, le Groupe a exporté près de 6 millions de tonnes cumulées vers plus de 90 marchés internationaux, hors système de subvention, confirmant ainsi la compétitivité de la filière sucrière marocaine à l’échelle mondiale.

En 2024, COSUMAR a exporté 653 000 tonnes de sucre vers plus de 50 pays.

Cette distinction met également en lumière le savoir-faire marocain de la filière sucrière et renforce le positionnement du “Made in Morocco”, reconnu pour la qualité de son industrie, la régularité de son approvisionnement ainsi que le respect des standards internationaux de traçabilité et de sécurité alimentaire.

Dans la continuité de cette dynamique, le Groupe COSUMAR poursuit ses ambitions de développement à l’international avec un objectif stratégique majeur : atteindre 1 million de tonnes exportées par an à partir de 2026, à travers le renforcement de son outil industriel et logistique ainsi que l’ouverture de nouveaux marchés.

Le Groupe réaffirme également son engagement à assurer l’approvisionnement prioritaire du marché national en sucre tout en contribuant durablement au rayonnement du “Made in Morocco” sur la scène agroalimentaire internationale.

We are honored and proud to have received the Best Exhibition Award in the Agro-Food Pavilion at the 17th edition of the International Agricultural Show in Morocco – SIAM!

This exhibition, designed to be much more than a simple display area, was conceived as a true meeting place built around our vision: to promote agro-industrial know-how, innovate sustainably, and bring our brand closer to all stakeholders in the value chain.

A huge thank you to everyone who visited us, engaged with us, and shared their feedback, enthusiasm, and curiosity. This award is also yours!

Thank you to the SIAM jury for this wonderful recognition, and to all the organizers for the quality and reach of this major event.

This award rewards the commitment, creativity, and energy of all COSUMAR teams, who worked passionately to offer visitors an immersive, warm experience that reflects our values.

As part of its participation in the 17th edition of the International Agricultural Exhibition in Morocco (SIAM), held under the theme “Water: Source of Life and Sustainable Development”, COSUMAR reaffirmed its strong commitment to sustainable, resilient, and innovation-driven agriculture.

Through two complementary exhibition spaces, the Group highlighted its efforts to support the transformation of the sugar value chain and address the challenges of efficient water management:

🔹 At the institutional stand, visitors explored the world of the Moroccan sugar industry, learned about COSUMAR’s field actions, and discovered the Group’s central role in building an inclusive and sustainable agricultural value chain.

🔹 At the digital stand, COSUMAR showcased the innovative solutions developed by its Digital Factory, including tools powered by artificial intelligence and Agriculture 4.0 technologies, designed to optimize irrigation, improve yields, and provide personalized support to farming partners.

Throughout the exhibition, COSUMAR’s teams engaged in meaningful discussions with stakeholders, demonstrated practical solutions, and shared experiences focused on the future of agriculture.

This participation reaffirmed COSUMAR’s conviction that the future of agriculture lies in innovation, collaboration, and the responsible management of water—a vital resource for farming and rural development.

As a longstanding partner of the “Lalla Al Moutaaouina” National Award, COSUMAR proudly took part in its 6th edition.

This award, organized by the Office for the Development of Cooperation (ODCO) under the auspices of the Ministry of Tourism, Handicrafts, and Social and Solidarity Economy, aims to encourage the initiatives of women-led cooperatives in rural areas.

During the award ceremony held on April 15, 2025, at the State Secretariat for Traditional Industry, Social and Solidarity Economy in Rabat, COSUMAR reaffirmed its commitment to women’s empowerment in rural areas through its CSR strategy by sponsoring the “ASSALAM” cooperative, based in Douar Ouled Boumat, Lehgagcha commune, in the Sidi Bennour province. This cooperative brings together 12 women.

ASSALAM specializes in traditional sewing, embroidery, and wool weaving, and aims to further develop sheep wool into clothing products while incorporating modern touches such as precious stones in its designs.

Thanks to COSUMAR’s financial support, the cooperative will be able to invest in new machinery to expand its operations.

Since 2019, COSUMAR has been supporting 11 rural cooperatives, as part of its broader commitment to sustainable and inclusive development.

Nous sommes fiers d’annoncer que le Groupe COSUMAR a été récompensé par le trophée de la “meilleure solution agri-digitale” au Salon International de l’Agriculture au Maroc (SIAM) 2024 ! Ce prix illustre notre engagement continu envers l’innovation et la transformation digitale dans l’amont agricole de la filière sucrière marocaine.

En tant que leader du secteur agroalimentaire, COSUMAR contribue depuis près d’un siècle à asseoir la souveraineté alimentaire du Royaume et à améliorer la vie de nos 80 000 partenaires agriculteurs. Notre modèle d’agrégation nous permet d’optimiser à la fois la qualité et la quantité de notre production agricole dans le cadre de notre vision de développement durable.

Au cœur de notre stratégie d’innovation, nous avons développé des solutions avancées pour la gestion des cultures sucrières. La plateforme “Attaissir” assure depuis 2018 la digitalisation de l’ensemble de l’activité amont agricole depuis la programmation des semis, distribution des intrants, prestations de mecanisation, transport,..jusqu’au paiement des agriculteurs.

Le recours à l’intelligence artificiellea été par la suite introduit par l’utilisation des drones et du “Smart Blender” qui révolutionnent notre approche agricole. Les drones permettent le suivi du nombre de plants à l’hectare ainsi qu’un diagnostic précis et rapide des besoins en traitements phytosanitaires des cultures pour une action localisée assurant la réduction des couts et la sauvegarde de l’environnement. Le Smart Blender introduit depuis 2019 crée des formules intelligentes d’engrais sur mesure pour chaque parcelle. Les technologies de l’irrigation intelligentes basées sur les utilisations des capteurs sont également en cours de développement dans la cadre de notre concept de “ferme intelligente”. Ensemble, nous construisons un avenir prospère où chaque innovation renforce notre durabilité et résilience.
