Almería Leads Regional Imports
The southern Spanish province of Almería imported the largest share of Moroccan tomatoes, receiving 13.71 million kilograms worth €16.83 million, at an average price of €1.213/kg.
It was followed by:
-
Granada: 9.62 million kilograms (€13.5 million, €1.40/kg average)
-
Murcia: 8.17 million kilograms (but at the lowest national average price of €0.82/kg)
-
Barcelona: 6.01 million kilograms (€9.32 million, €1.55/kg average)
-

The data, pulled from the European Union’s customs database TARIC using code 0702 for tomatoes, reflects a growing reliance on Moroccan produce in the Spanish market, amid evolving trade dynamics and price fluctuations.
The sharp increase in Moroccan tomato exports underscores the country’s expanding footprint in European agricultural markets and highlights Spain’s continued demand for imported fresh produce.
