Morocco tops the list of melon-producing countries offering the lowest export prices, according to a new report by agricultural data platform Hortoinfo, based on 2023 FAO statistics.
The report revealed that Moroccan farmers received an average of just €0.28 per kilogram for their melons, less than half the €0.58 earned by Spanish producers and far below the €0.82 fetched by Israeli farmers.
The analysis showed that Israeli growers earned 41% more than their Spanish counterparts, while Spanish farmers received prices 107% higher than those in Morocco.
Despite Morocco’s competitive edge in price, the figures highlight significant disparities in earnings among top producers. Morocco’s low prices bolster its position in the export market but raise questions about sustainability and profitability for local farmers.
