The working and living conditions of migrant workers in the agricultural sector. Chtouka as a case study

This report aims to explore the actions and strategies of the main actors involved in the agricultural sector in two territorial communes, Sidi Bibi and Khmiss Ait Amira, in the province of Chtouka Ait Baha, the region of Souss-Massa. The two communes, increasingly known as the capital communes of sub-Saharan migrant farm workers, have become microcosms of global agricultural and labour trends, especially after the launch of agricultural policies oriented towards exportation of agricultural products to global markets. Drawing on 15 interviews with MWs and 15 interviews with state, non-state actors and employers, the report aims to study the strategies and interactions of the various actors involved and how these interactions shape migrant workers’ conditions in this locality and in this sector.
