Photographer's Note
Morocco is a big fruit producer country, mainly citrus fruits. However, the Moroccan consumes only 1,5 litre processed juice per year, compared to France 13, Germany 35 or even the United-States 45. You may think it is a paradox, but Moroccans prefer sodas and tea rather than fruit juices, and even less processed juices.
On the other hand, juice is generally expansive as compared to the average purchasing power. In fact, this is one of the reasons why the consumption of fruits is so low in Morocco. By comparison, the price of a bowl of fruit juice costs less than 5 dirhams (0,45 €) whereas a glass of juice manufactured through industrial processes costs more than 8 dirhams (0,71 €). This means business for the malhabates which not only offer a homemade and traditional product to attractive prices, but they also have the benefit of being the preferred choice of consumers.
-----------------------------------------------
Le Maroc est un important pays producteur de fruits et principalement d’agrumes. Pourtant, le Marocain ne consomme que 1,5 litre de jus de fruit industriel par an, contre 13 litres pour la France, 35 litres pour l’Allemagne ou encore 45 litres pour les Etats-Unis. Paradoxal, me direz-vous, mais traditionnellement les Marocains sont beaucoup plus amateurs de boissons gazeuses et de thé que de jus de fruits. Et encore moins de jus industrialisés.
D’autre part, le jus reste en général cher par rapport au pouvoir d’achat moyen. C’est d’ailleurs une des causes de la faiblesse de la consommation des jus au Maroc. Si l’on fait une comparaison, le prix d'un bol de jus de fruits revient à moins de 5 dirhams (0,45 €), contre un peu plus de 8 dirhams (0,71 €) pour un verre de jus issu de la filière agroindustrielle. Cela suffit à faire les affaires des mahlabates, qui proposent d'abord un produit fait maison donc traditionnel à des prix attractifs, mais ont également l'avantage d'être préférées par les consommateurs aux jus industriels.

Hi Christian
Skillfully composed and cropped, you created a very eye-catching travel photo here. The frame is divided into three sections with different yet similar arrangement of fruit on sale. Great work.
Btw, I also observed that in less affluent countries people choose to consume fizzy drinks and team rather than fruit juices, often in spite of the abundance of fruit around.
Best wishes

Hello Christian,
This picture actually makes me think of Afghanistan 40 years ago. Many fruit-sellers decorated their shops in this way, using the fruits like ornaments. The main difference is the modern shelves and the fire-extinguisher in this place. They wouldn't have had that in Afghanistan in the 70's. This is a very nice and well cropped photo with superb colours.
Kind regards,
Gert

Ciao Christian
tutti i colori e il guistodell'esotico tipico del Marocco.
Una composizione semplice ma molto eleganteche non lascia nulla all'immaginazione tra frutti e colori di tutti i tipi allineati in tre quadri che si succedono in maniera superba.
Complimenti per la bella cattura e l'ottima esecuzione.
Gestione della luce, del colore e del contrasto perfetta.
Ciao e buona serata

Veuillez excuser mon retard, Christian
Une lumière diffuse montre tous les secrets savoureux de ce banquet pour la vue présenté en trois dimensions et selon les règles de l'art; cadrage étudié aux horizontales et verticales rigoureuses rehaussent l'effet d'aquarelle qu'il faut absolument laminer pour décoration à la salle à diner!
J'envie cette image de grande finesse qui révèle l'expérience photo.

Hello Christian,
We were in Morocco last year in March but we did not go to Agadir (and it wasn't this sunny, either). You captured a beautiful frame with many pleasant colors. the string bags just by themselves are a pleasant sight.

Hi Christian.
A fabulous composition with many details, which recreated, perfect framing of the window, which is ideal with that fence, that decorates on the top, making ivy arches is another trim element, then the variety and color of such diverse fruit hanging on those colorful bags grid, is a wonderful complement, an image well seen and composed masterfully.
Very good sharpness and light, highlighting the splendid colors of these natural tones.
Happy start to the week.
All the best.
Luis.

Bonsoir Christian,
a great title for a delicious picture! The symmetrical looking composition is very rhythmical and appealing, the hanging fruit make terrific focal points that please the eyes and are so inviting. There's wonderful sharpness both in the foreground and in the interior, in the middle. Textures, colours and depth are very well defined, they are attractive but not exaggerated, they have a rather soothing effect. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great evening,
Ourania

Love the balanced composition and the drop here - a different kind of shop window! Very colourful and I love the title - vitamin bar! In the UK you get your vitamins from drinking Guinness at the bar!

Bonjour Christian,
From a country associated with a desert climate, one might not think there would be an abundance of fruit produced. TE is a wonderful learning tool and a fun way to gain these little nuggets of information. Case in point, this picture...what a vibrant and colorful image which validates your notes succinctly and helps better understand the region and it products. Suited perfectly for the panoramic format, there's interest and detail from side to side. A frame full of enticing fruits and sweet atmosphere, very well presented! Bonne journée. All the best.
Friendly regards,
Jason

Hi Christian,
I remember these vitamin bars from Turkey as well. This one is particularly attractive with the layout and leaves and bags of fruit hanging to entice the customers, there is nothing better than freshly squeezed fruit juice. Nice framing here and good work with the natural colours, and sharpness of details.
Regards
Wanda

Bonjour Christian,
Et ils ont bien raison de préférer ces jus de fruits frais, c'est bien meilleur ! En tout cas, cette "vitrine" est très alléchante avec cette explosion de couleurs. Ton cadrage serré et bien organisé met bien en valeur la présentation soignée du commerçant.
Bien joué.
Amicalement,
Delphine
