%X Le secteur agricole a jou¨¦ un r le tr¨¨s important au Maroc durant le long r¨¨gne d¡¯Hassan II. La politique agricole a refl¨¦t¨¦ les rapports de forces politiques et la capacit¨¦ des ¨¦lites agricoles alli¨¦es au Tr ne pour influencer les processus de d¨¦cision. Cependant, les orientations traditionnelles de cette politique ont ¨¦t¨¦ remises en cause, depuis la fin des ann¨¦es quatre-vingt, par la lib¨¦ralisation du commerce international et les contraintes financi¨¨res du pays. Dans cet article, nous proposons d¡¯apporter des ¨¦l¨¦ments d¡¯information sur l¡¯¨¦volution de cette politique et l¡¯articulation des int¨¦r¨ºts agricoles ¨¤ travers le prisme de la trajectoire de l¡¯Union Marocaine de l¡¯Agriculture (UMA). Cette organisation professionnelle a pr¨¦tendu, depuis sa constitution en 1958, au monopole de la repr¨¦sentation des int¨¦r¨ºts des agriculteurs marocains, et donc du monde rural. Ce faisant, l¡¯UMA a longtemps jou¨¦ le r le d¡¯un v¨¦ritable lobby agraire au sein des diff¨¦rentes institutions du royaume. Cependant, elle semble avoir perdu sa fonctionnalit¨¦ ¨¤ la fin des ann¨¦es quatre-vingt-dix, son r le et son avenir ¨¦tant depuis lors entour¨¦s d¡¯incertitude. The agricultural sector played an important role in Morocco during the long reign of Hassan II. Agricultural policies reflect competing political interests and the ability of the agrarian elites close to the throne to influence the decision-making processes. However, beginning in the late 1980¡¯s such traditional orientations have come to be questioned in light of international trade liberalisation and the financial limitations of the country. In this article we propose to review these policies in their historical context and with a view to the articulation of the agricultural interest by the Moroccan Agricultural Union (UMA). This professional organisa-tion has monopolized agricultural representation since its inception in 1958 and hence, the representation of rural interests. In so doing the UMA has for long played the role of farm lobby before the various institutions of the kingdom. This said, it appears the organisation has lost some of its functionality at the end of the nineteen-nineties, with the result that its role and future are since clouded with uncertainty.
