Dentons advised Magriser Group, a Moroccan pioneer in micro-irrigation, on the sale of a majority stake to the investment fund manager Amethis.

Founded in 1987, Magriser introduced drip irrigation to Morocco, a method that lets water slowly infuse the roots of crops, reducing evaporation. It’s used for olives, citrus fruits and strawberries, some of the North African nation’s main agricultural exports. Morocco ships more than $4 billion a year in farm products.

"Our partnership with Amethis will help us to accelerate the deployment of irrigation systems in Morocco and in Africa," stated Simohamed Azzouz, Chief Executive of Magriser.
