In the late 1500s, Morocco became one of the world's leading sugar producers. This episode explores how Sultan Ahmad al-Mansur al-Dhahabi transformed the Saadian economy around sugar cultivation and export, using enslaved labor from West Africa and European technology. We trace the sugar mills of the Sus and Haouz regions, the trade networks that shipped Moroccan sugar to England and Italy, and how the industry funded al-Mansur's grand monuments like the Badi Palace and his costly invasion of the Songhai Empire. We also discuss why the industry collapsed after his death, leaving ruins of sugar refineries across Morocco. Specific figures include Ahmad al-Mansur, his European sugar experts, and the English 'Barbary Company' that helped distribute Moroccan sugar. This episode covers a lesser-known economic chapter that connected Morocco to the Atlantic world long before the colonial period. #Morocco #Saadian #SugarHistory #AhmadAlMansur #BadiPalace #AtlanticTrade #SonghaiInvasion #BarbaryCompany #SusRegion #Haouz #EnslavedLabor #SugarMills #16thCentury #NorthAfrica #EconomicHistory #TradeNetworks #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
