在1910年摩洛哥成为法国的保护国之前,马铃薯在摩洛哥的生产可能就已经发展起来了。在接下来的100年里,尤其是自1956年独立后,马铃薯产量大幅度增加,从1961年的大约15万吨增加至2006年创纪录的156万吨。在同一时期,单产从每公顷10吨增加到26吨以上。
按重量计算,马铃薯是目前摩洛哥第三大作物,仅次于甜菜和小麦,在出口蔬菜中仅次于番茄,2005年就有4万吨马铃薯运往欧洲。
除了冬季很短的一段时间外,马铃薯可全年种植。鲜薯的生产主要集中在大西洋沿岸的北部和卡萨布兰卡的南部,那里温和的地中海气候提供了有利的生长条件。马铃薯还生长在阿特拉斯山脉海拔3000米以上的崎岖地带。普通摩洛哥人一年消费42公斤左右的马铃薯。
