Rural Moroccans make up approximately 34% of the country's population, and 80% of their households earn less than the national average (World Bank, 2014).  The low market-value of traditional staple crops (corn and barley) has made subsistence agriculture unsustainable.  These staples are planted on more than 70% of agricultural land, yet account for only 10-15% of agricultural revenue. Farming families are planting more profitable Argan trees, but the high demand on trees has increased prices.
