Morocco has been continuously increasing its fruit and berry exports, with France and the UK accounting for the most important part in this growth, as reported by EastFruit. In 2018-2022, Moroccan fruits and berries were available on the markets of 122 countries, with Spain, France, the Netherlands, Russia and the UK heading the list of key importers. Meanwhile, exports to France and the UK were growing, while Spain, the Netherlands and Russia were importing less Moroccan produce.
Since 2018, the Moroccan fruit and berry export revenues have grown by almost a half. In 2022, they totaled $1.7 bln, and their cumulative volume over 2018-2022 amounted to $7.1 bln.
Spain is the biggest importer of Moroccan fruits and berries and accounted for about 27% of Morocco’s total exports in the past five years. Meanwhile, Morocco was the fourth largest supplier of fruits and berries to Spain in 2022 with the share of 15% in Spain’s total imports. Nevertheless, the revenues from the Moroccan exports to Spain fell by 23% compared to 2021.
Blueberries bring almost a third of Morocco’s total revenues from exports to Spain. A few years ago, the share of Spain in Morocco’s blueberry exports exceeded 90%, but then it was decreasing year by year, as previously reported by EastFruit.
