Moroccan orange exports have witnessed an outstanding performance for the second consecutive season, following a sharp decline in the 2022/2023 season.
According to EastFruit platform data, the export volume reached approximately 84.6 thousand tons, valued at $61 million, an increase of 38% compared to last season, and more than double the low level recorded two years ago. Orange leads the list of exported Moroccan fruits, with the highest shipment volume recorded in May, at approximately 15.7 thousand tons. Canada and the United States are the largest markets, with shares of 22% and 21.5% respectively, while Moroccan exports have seen significant growth to the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, and Spain, with Moroccan oranges reaching 46 global markets. Despite this recovery, the sector faces challenges such as climate change and water resource scarcity, while the government's support since 2024 has contributed to enhancing the competitiveness of Moroccan exports, giving exporters hope for a better future.
