Morocco's role as Spain's top non-EU produce supplier
Recent data released by the Spanish Federation reveal that Spain's imports of Moroccan vegetables and fruits continued to grow during the first five months of 2026, reaching over 303,000 tons with a value exceeding 890 million euros. This reflects a 6.7% increase in value compared to the same period last year, despite a 6.1% decrease in the volume imported. Morocco remains the largest supplier of vegetables and fruits to Spain outside the European Union, with Moroccan products increasingly important in the Spanish market, which is becoming more dependent on imports from outside the EU, accounting for approximately 73% of Spain’s agricultural product imports from third countries. The figures also show a trend toward diversification of sources for the Spanish market, with imports from non-EU countries rising by 5.3% to about 1.17 million tons, valued at around 1.932 billion euros—a 7% year-over-year increase. Although the value of imports from the EU declined by 4.5%, reaching 725 million euros, France—Spain’s largest European supplier—increased its exports to over 599,000 tons, representing a 9.1% annual growth. These numbers highlight Morocco’s continued important role in supplying the Spanish market, thereby reinforcing the strength of trade ties between the two countries in the agricultural sector.
