According to data from the National Statistics Office of Georgia (Sakstat), Morocco ranked as the seventh-largest destination for Georgian petroleum product exports between January and May 2026. The surge was driven by a 3,712.9% increase in exports, largely attributed to the Kulevi oil terminal on the Black Sea.
The Kulevi terminal, operated by SOCAR Georgia Petroleum, has expanded its refining capacity, enabling higher export volumes to North Africa. The exact volume of exports was not specified in the source data, but the percentage increase reflects a significant shift in trade flows.
Georgia's petroleum exports have diversified in recent years, with Morocco emerging as a key market alongside traditional partners like Ukraine and Romania. The rise is also linked to increased demand in Morocco for refined products as the country expands its industrial base.
No other details on the value or specific products were available from the verified Sakstat report. The data underscores Georgia's growing role as a regional energy hub.
