Spain’s imports from Morocco surged by 105 percent in July 2025, led mainly by agricultural products, reflecting the growing strength of economic ties between the two Mediterranean neighbors.
According to data from Spain’s Ministry of Economy and Trade, Spanish purchases from Morocco reached 324 tonnes in July, marking one of the sharpest monthly increases in recent years. Cumulatively, Spain has imported over 6 billion euros worth of goods from Morocco so far in 2025, matching import volumes from Belgium and far surpassing those from Algeria, which totaled about 3 billion dollars.
This growth consolidates Morocco’s position as Spain’s leading African trading partner, a trend strengthened by the new bilateral roadmap adopted in 2022 to promote mutual development and a “relationship of equals.” Spanish exports to Morocco have also remained strong, exceeding 7.3 billion euros this year, almost equal to exports to Belgium.
The surge in Moroccan agricultural exports highlights the complementarity of both economies, with Spain relying on Moroccan fruits, vegetables, and seasonal products to stabilize supply and prices. The partnership also benefits from Moroccan labor and logistical connectivity across the Strait of Gibraltar.
