Dutch potatoes enter Morocco
Morocco's potato imports during the 2025-2026 season saw an unprecedented rise, exceeding 12,000 tons between July 2025 and June 2026. This represents an increase of approximately 50% compared to the previous season's total, and about 2.4 times the record set during the 2008-2009 season. This surge was due to a decline in local supply caused by heavy rains and flooding, which damaged agricultural lands in regions such as the Loukkos basin. As a result, Morocco increasingly relied on imports from European countries, particularly the Netherlands, France, and Belgium. The surplus of European-produced potatoes put downward pressure on prices, with local production dropping while demand remained high, making imports a necessary solution to compensate for the shortage during the potato season.
