Morocco Strengthens Its Position in the Spanish Market with Record Tomato Export Revenues
Morocco has achieved revenues of 141 million euros from tomato exports to Spain, surpassing Portugal as the primary supplier of this product to the Spanish market.
This performance reflects the ongoing dynamism within the Moroccan agricultural sector, particularly in the realm of high-value export crops, with tomatoes benefiting from advancements in production techniques within greenhouses along with improvements in packaging and transport chains.
This progress relies on multiple factors, including geographical proximity to the European market, competitive pricing, and regular supply during peak demand periods, especially in winter when local production dips in several European countries.
Moroccan tomato exports are primarily concentrated in major production areas, particularly the Souss-Massa region, which serves as a key hub for export-oriented agriculture, where a significant portion of the production is directed towards European markets via advanced logistical platforms.
This superiority underscores the growing presence of Moroccan agricultural products in European markets, amidst increasing demand for vegetables and fruits from the southern shores of the Mediterranean, alongside ongoing strong competition among exporting countries within the European space.
