Morocco continues to increase carrot exports, but not to EU countries

The export of carrots from Morocco continues to grow at a steady pace, and according to the results of 2022, its volume has grown by almost one and a half times, as well as the supply of these products already in January 2023, according to EastFruit. At the same time, unlike many other fruit and vegetable categories, Sub-Saharan Africa remains the key export destination for Moroccan carrots. Thus, since 2017, the export of carrots from Morocco has increased annually by 46% and by 2022 reached a record 43 thousand tons. Moreover, Moroccan exporters managed to significantly extend their supply season, and their peak shifted to the end of autumn 2022, although before that, exports usually started to decline from September. Morocco also started 2023 with a record 2,700 tonnes of carrot exports, up 80% from January last year.
