Morocco is recording a sharp increase in its frozen raspberry exports to the European Union, rising from 3,600 tons in 2020 to 16,700 tons in 2022, a fourfold increase in just two years. Exports of ripe and fresh raspberries have also increased, reaching a volume of 56,200 tons in 2022, after a 36% increase in 2021.
Morocco has emphasized exports of high value-added products, but with the expansion of production of fresh raspberries and other berries for export, mainly to EU countries, an opportunity came forward for the development of freezing berries. Thus, the two segments are developing dynamically and complement each other.
According to the same source, raspberry exports bring in over $360 million a year to Moroccan growers.
