Sweet pepper is still one of the few crops with increased exports from Morocco in the 2023/24 season

Climate change and weather disasters have dealt a heavy blow to the export of greenhouse vegetables from Morocco, which had previously been growing at a fairly active pace, EastFruit reports. Exports of tomatoes from the country are still at a low level, and supplies of cucumbers remain at last year’s level. At the same time, sweet pepper turned out to be one of the few crops for which Moroccan exporters managed to increase the results of the previous season! Thus, in July-November 2023, Morocco exported 48 thousand tons of sweet pepper, which was 9% higher than the same period of the previous season. Meanwhile, supplies of tomatoes from the country over the same months fell by almost 20% to 206 thousand tons, and exports of cucumbers stopped at 6.7 thousand tons.
