Morocco exported 205,777 tonnes of greenhouse vegetables to Spain between September 2025 and May 2026, a 6.4% increase compared to the same period a year earlier, according to data from Spain's Ministry of Agriculture. This volume represents 54% of Spain's total greenhouse vegetable imports during that period.
The growth was particularly notable for peppers, which surged 18.8% to 102,951 tonnes. Other key vegetables in the trade included tomatoes, cucumbers, and courgettes, though specific figures for these were not immediately available.
The increase is also significant when compared to the five-year average, with imports rising 28.6% above that benchmark. This highlights Morocco's growing role as a major supplier of fresh produce to the Spanish market, especially during the winter months when domestic production is limited.
Spanish agricultural groups have expressed concerns about the rising competition from Moroccan imports, citing price pressures on local growers. However, the trade remains a key component of the bilateral agricultural relationship between the two countries.
