Morocco triples cucumber exports to Spain as reliance deepens

Morocco triples cucumber exports to Spain as reliance deepens
Saturday 27 September 2025 - 21:49

Between July 2024 and June 2025, Morocco exported 18,200 tons of cucumbers to Spain, generating $21.1 million in revenue, according to EastFruit data. 

The figure marks a 34 percent increase from the previous season and more than triples the volume of 2020–21, with average annual growth of 33 percent over four campaigns.

 The surge reflects not only Morocco’s rising export capacity but also Spain’s growing dependence on external suppliers to sustain its own role in international markets.

Spain now absorbs nearly 60 percent of Morocco’s cucumber exports, up from 31 percent three years ago, a shift driven by Spain’s need to maintain consistent supply despite flat domestic output.

 Moroccan deliveries stand out for their year-round reliability and peak volumes in winter, when they account for more than 90 percent of Spain’s imports. By contrast, European competitors remain far behind in scale, consolidating Morocco’s status as a critical partner in Spain’s agri-food chain.
