Morocco on track to set new sweet pepper export record

Sweet peppers are another category of greenhouse vegetables where Morocco has every chance to set a new annual export record, EastFruit reports. Let us recall that this year, sales of tomatoes abroad, the key position of Morocco's fruit and vegetable exports, are also showing a positive trend. In the sweet pepper segment, export growth is maintained at even more significant rates, and in January-August of this year, Moroccan suppliers have already sold almost 150 thousand tons of this product abroad. This volume is 20% higher than the same period last year and is an excellent support for setting a new export record, provided that the established growth rates are maintained. It should be noted that this year, the monthly figures of Moroccan sweet pepper exports have only, with a few exceptions, exceeded the volumes of previous years, and quite significantly.
