Morocco has continued to increase its fresh raspberry exports to the United Kingdom, according to the specialized website Eastfruit.
In the first six months of the current season, the volume of raspberry exports to the UK reached 5,700 tons, more than double that of the previous season and a 41% increase compared to the 2022/2023 season. This marks a record high.
Export revenue has also reached a record of 52 million dollars. The Moroccan raspberry export period to the UK traditionally runs from September to June, with peak shipments between January and May, indicating strong potential for this season’s exports to exceed previous records.
The UK, one of the top five raspberry importers, is the primary destination for Moroccan berries. Last season, Moroccan fresh raspberry shipments to the UK accounted for 32% of total exports, making Morocco the leading supplier of these berries to the UK, with about 50% of total raspberry imports. Spain, the second-largest exporter, only supplied 37% in the 2023/2024 season.
Morocco has become the world’s second-largest exporter of raspberries in 2024, following Mexico.
