The OECD Economic Outlook projects Morocco’s economy to expand by 3.8% in 2025 and 2026, driven largely by the recovery of the agricultural sector. Following the severe droughts of 2023–2024, agriculture is expected to play a pivotal role in revitalizing national growth. According EastFruit, improved weather conditions are creating a favorable environment for stronger fruit and vegetable production, directly supporting export performance.
According to EastFruit, Morocco exported 27.7 thousand tonnes of cucumbers in the 2024/25 season, surpassing last year’s volumes and setting a new national record. The asparagus sector performed even more impressively, with exports rising by 47% year-on-year.
Citrus exports are also rebounding. In the 2024/25 marketing year, mandarin shipments reached 436 thousand tonnes, an increase of 13% compared to the previous year. Similar positive dynamics are observed in the berry segment, where raspberry exports to Middle Eastern markets continue to grow, underscoring Morocco’s strong competitiveness on the international stage.
