It is commonly accepted that the majority of companies have started to introduce R&D activities and innovation to improve their exports, especially, after the appearance of the pandemic of COVID-19. The objective of this work is to analyze the effects of innovation on the export of the agri-food sector in Morocco through a study based on panel data covering the period 2007-2018 by exploiting a gravity model estimated by the Poisson Pseudo-Maximum Likelihood method (PPML). The results of our study showed that the export of the agri-food sector is positively influenced by the innovative factor of the country (patent filings) alongside the traditional factors of our model such as production, the wealth of partner countries and distance.
