Tridge summary

In the first eight months of 2023, Morocco has experienced a significant increase in the import of prunes, with 1.7 thousand tons of prunes worth over $5 million being imported into the country. This is a substantial increase compared to the previous seven years, where imports were minimal or practically absent. The main importer of prunes to the Moroccan market is Spain, but in 2023, the country has expanded its imports from 11 different countries including Uzbekistan, Moldova, Romania, and Poland. This increase in imports is due to a shortage of prunes on the Moroccan market caused by a severe drought last year.
