Spain’s tomato sales to European Union Member States have decreased by -23.97% over the past five years, while Morocco’s have climbed by 38.05%.
As a result, Morocco now nearly equals Spain’s tomato sales, according to the Spanish media outlet Horto Info.
Spain sold 424.48 million kilos of tomatoes to the EU between January and October 2022; this represents a substantial decrease from the 558.29 million kilos sold in 2018.
During the same period, 404.99 million kilos of Moroccan tomatoes were sold in community markets, nearing the Spanish record and significantly exceeding the volume from five years prior when Moroccan tomato exports to the EU reached 293.37 million kilos.
The third largest exporter of tomatoes to the EU, behind the Netherlands and Spain, has been Morocco, which sold 404.99 million kilos of tomatoes for 637.94 million euros at an average price of 1.58 euros per kilo.
These figures were provided by the Spanish media using information from the statistical agency Euroestacom (Icex-Eurostat) along with codes from the Integrated Tariff of the European Communities “TARIC”.
