Morocco’s Plant‑Based Milk Industry: Rising Against the Dairy Current
When Jaouda launched Nabatlé in 2025, it marked a turning point for Morocco: the country’s first locally made plant‑based milk brand. With oat, almond, and coconut varieties fortified with calcium and free from gluten, lactose, added sugars, and preservatives, Nabatlé quickly became a symbol of innovation and sustainability. Yet its rise comes at a time when Morocco is also expanding conventional dairy, most recently with a US$10.8 million milk plant investment in Kenitra, underscoring the challenge plant‑based alternatives face in a market still dominated by traditional production.
Nabatlé: Morocco's First Plant-Based Milk Brand by Jaouda
In a groundbreaking move, Jaouda, an agri-food company, has launched Nabatlé, Morocco's first plant-based milk brand. Available in oat, almond, and coconut varieties, Nabatlé is fortified with calcium and free from gluten, lactose, added sugars, and preservatives. This launch highlights Jaouda's commitment to environmental sustainability and showcases Morocco's ability to produce high-quality, competitive products using local expertise.
