A new report by the OECD and FAO highlights Morocco's crucial role in the global fruit supply chain, amid growing demand and challenges facing global agriculture.

The Agricultural Outlook 2025-2034 report projects a 14% increase in global agricultural and fisheries production over the next decade, driven primarily by productivity improvements, especially in middle-income countries.

The study highlights the growing demand for animal-based foods, driven by population growth, increasing wealth, and urbanization. To meet this demand, the report calls for improved agricultural productivity, which in turn would help limit the increase in greenhouse gas emissions from the sector to 6%.

Furthermore, the need for a rules-based trading system to ensure global food security and the livelihoods of rural populations is emphasized. Innovation and investment are key for small farmers to improve their competitiveness in a market with a downward trend in international prices.

Morocco stands out as one of the leading fruit producers in Africa, along with South Africa, Egypt, and Nigeria. The report recognizes the vitality and potential of its fruit sector, particularly its contribution to the continent's fruit exports.

The growth of these exports over the past two decades is largely attributed to the drive of these key countries, led by Morocco. This success not only demonstrates Morocco's competitiveness in the international market, but also its contribution to the diversification and robustness of global agricultural supply chains.

Taking advantage of its climatic and agronomic advantages, Morocco is positioning itself as a key player in African fruit production, responding to growing market demand and contributing to food security objectives.

In parallel, recent data from Hortoinfo reveal a significant increase in fruit and vegetable exports from Morocco to Spain during the first quarter of 2025.

Spanish imports grew 22% compared to the same period last year, reaching 188.076 tons for a value of €481 million. Moroccan tomatoes led this growth, with a 34% increase in volume and a 57% increase in value, while green beans experienced a decline, suggesting a possible diversification of demand.
