Morocco is experiencing a surge in mango imports, reflecting a strong appetite for tropical fruits, as reported by EastFruit. In 2024, the nation set a new benchmark, importing 15,600 tons of mangoes—a 10% increase from the previous year and twice the volumes recorded in 2019 and 2020. This upward trajectory continued into 2025, with imports reaching 2,500 tons in January and February alone, triple the amount imported during the same period in 2024, marking an all-time high for the season.
Since 2020, Morocco has experienced a steady increase in mango imports, achieving an impressive average annual growth rate of 15% over the past five years. While mangoes are imported year-round, the peak season occurs from March to May. African nations, particularly Mali and Senegal, remain the leading suppliers, though Mali’s market share has been gradually declining. Imports from Spain have also decreased, while Brazil has emerged as a key player, ranking among the top three mango exporters to Morocco by the end of 2024. Additionally, Egypt has significantly ramped up its mango exports over the past two years, and Peru set a new record for import volumes in early 2025.

This surge in mango imports aligns with a global rise in demand for exotic fruits. Moroccan consumers are increasingly embracing mangoes, driving retailers to diversify their product ranges. Investments in cold storage and logistics infrastructure have ensured that high-quality imported fruits are available across the country. Moreover, Morocco’s growing trade relationships with African and Latin American suppliers have bolstered supply chain stability.
Analysts from EastFruit predict that Morocco’s mango imports will continue to grow in 2025, fueled by sustained domestic demand and reliable trade networks. However, challenges such as volatile global fruit prices or disruptions in supply chains could influence future growth.
