Morocco imported more than $177 million worth of goods from Israel in 2023, according to UN trade data published by Trading Economics this month, underscoring the rapid growth in commercial ties since the two countries resumed official relations in late 2020.
The imports spanned a wide range of sectors. Manufactured products led the list at more than $75 million, followed by electrical and electronic equipment worth nearly $52 million. Machinery, including nuclear reactors and boilers, totaled about $13 million.
Chemical imports reached $10 million, while Morocco also purchased aircraft and spacecraft parts valued at nearly $4 million, along with medical instruments, optical devices and other high-tech equipment totaling $2.5 million.
Plastics accounted for $2.4 million, and fuels and mineral oils added about $1.5 million.
Weapons and ammunition were also listed, though at a much smaller scale under $300,000. Agricultural and food products, including oilseeds, cereals, fruit, fertilizers, processed foods and cocoa, were also imported.
Consumer goods such as perfumes, cosmetics and alcoholic beverages featured as well. At the lower end, imports included live animals, books, clothing, hats and even works of art and antiques.
The figures highlight the growing depth of trade between the two countries. With a maritime transport agreement signed in May 2023, analysts expect bilateral trade to continue to expand in the coming years.
