What position for Moroccan raspberries in the EU?

The article highlights the performance of raspberry markets in various European countries during the current season. The Dutch market is experiencing high prices for quality raspberries, benefiting local producers, while weather conditions are closely watched to impact the season. Morocco, a key competitor to Spain with its stable raspberry season and competitive pricing, has seen a decrease in export volumes to Europe by 20% due to high temperatures and drought, following a decade of increased production. On the other hand, Spain has struggled with water shortages, high temperatures, and a colder start to the season, resulting in lower production volumes and quality, primarily affecting the quality segment of the market and leading to a loss in market share to Morocco. Portugal's raspberry producers have experienced lower volumes but higher quality fruits, allowing them to achieve slightly higher prices. The article emphasizes the challenges faced by each country and the potential effects on the raspberry market in the coming weeks.
