Rainfall of up to 200 mm in Berkane Province and the revival of the agricultural season

Oriental Eco

The eastern region, and Berkane in particular, has recorded significant rainfall in recent days. As of Sunday morning, February 08, 2026, the total rainfall amounted to about 200 mm in Madagh and 175 mm in Berkane, according to available data.

The rainfall has increased the filling rate of the region's dams, boosting the water supply available for agricultural and domestic use. The rains have also led to the revitalization of natural pastures and the availability of grass.

Positive implications for the agricultural sector

The availability of natural pastures eliminates the need for supplemental feed, significantly reducing production costs. This improvement stabilizes the income of farmers, both small and large-scale operators, and improves the health of the herd.

These favorable weather conditions give farmers hope for a good agricultural season, especially after periods of drought that affected agricultural and pastoral activity in the region. The persistence and temporal distribution of precipitation remains a decisive factor in determining the level of expected agricultural production.
