Abstract

Against a backdrop of economic globalization, there is a growing demand for local products on the market. These products satisfy consumers' quest for authenticity while guaranteeing healthy quality in a local setting. Morocco, with its remarkable diversity of terroirs, offers considerable potential for developing these local products. Rooted in local traditions, these products play a crucial role in the country's economic and regional development. Their sustainable development can stimulate the local economy and create jobs in rural areas, while preserving cultural heritage and strengthening regional identity. This article aims to clarify the concept of terroir products, explore their implications and highlight the importance of promoting them in economic and regional development. Based on a systematic review of the existing literature, including scientific articles and reports from agricultural agencies, the conclusions highlight the need to promote the enhancement of local products as an essential lever for boosting socio-economic and territorial development.
