Morocco sets new asparagus export record amid growing global demand
Saturday 2 August 2025 - 16:02

Morocco has broken its own record for the fourth consecutive season by exporting 968 tons of asparagus between July 2024 and May 2025, generating $6.6 million in revenue, a 47% increase from the previous season, according to EastFruit citing Global Trade Tracker and Morocco’s Exchange Office.

While Moroccan asparagus exports are typically seasonal, peaking in March and April, the adoption of advanced agricultural technologies enabled shipments well into May and even in October. Over the past five seasons, the country has recorded an annual export growth rate of 70%.

Belgium emerged as the top destination for Moroccan asparagus, accounting for over 62% of exports this season. Spain reclaimed second place after a rebound in shipments, while exports to France and the UK remained steady. The Netherlands received no shipments this year.

Morocco also entered new markets, exporting asparagus for the first time to the UAE, Canada, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey.
