Morocco continues to be the European Union's largest supplier of greenhouse vegetables, including tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, eggplants, and courgettes, according to recent trade data. Despite Turkey's growing presence in the EU market, Morocco's exports have remained robust, driven by competitive pricing and established trade agreements.
Data from the European Commission and Eurostat indicate that in 2025, Morocco accounted for a significant share of EU imports of these vegetables, with Turkey following as a rising competitor. However, Morocco's proximity to the EU and its modern greenhouse infrastructure have helped maintain its leading position.
Turkey has increased its exports of greenhouse vegetables to the EU in recent years, particularly in the winter season, but has not yet overtaken Morocco in overall volumes. Trade analysts note that Turkey's growth is notable, but Morocco's consistency and quality standards keep it ahead.
The EU's trade policies and tariff arrangements also play a role, with Morocco benefiting from preferential access under the EU-Morocco Association Agreement. As of August 2026, no major changes to these arrangements have been announced, and Morocco's position appears stable.
