Morocco's agri-food exports to the European Union continued to grow in the first seven months of 2026, reaching €2.66 billion. This represents a 1% increase from €2.621 billion during the same period last year. The growth is attributed to a strong performance in 2025, when Moroccan agri-food exports to the EU rose by 8.5% year on year. The European Commission's report on EU agri-food trade, published on September 28, highlights Morocco's position as a leading external agri-food supplier to the EU.
The increase in Morocco's agri-food exports to the EU amounts to €39 million. In 2025, Morocco supplied €3.753 billion worth of agri-food products to the EU, compared with €3.460 billion in 2024. These figures place Morocco among the EU's leading external agri-food suppliers, with a 2% share of total EU agri-food imports in 2025. This put Morocco in 12th place, while in the first seven months of 2026, the country ranks 13th.
Brazil remained the EU's largest external supplier in 2025, with €18.6 billion in exports and a 10% share of the bloc's agri-food imports. The United Kingdom followed with €16 billion, ahead of the United States at €13.2 billion, Ukraine at €10.6 billion, and China at €9.9 billion. These countries are major players in the EU's agri-food market, but Morocco's growth in this area is notable.
In contrast, EU agri-food exports to Morocco have followed a different trajectory. Between January and July 2026, EU agri-food exports to Morocco fell to €1.99 billion, down from €2.212 billion during the same period in 2025. This represents a 10% decline, or a difference of €223 million. Despite this, EU agri-food exports to Morocco reached €3.785 billion in 2025, compared with €3.634 billion in 2024.
The decline in EU agri-food exports to Morocco comes after moderate growth in 2025. The United Kingdom was the bloc's largest market, with €55.7 billion, or 23% of total exports. The United States followed at €28.6 billion (12%), then Switzerland at €13.1 billion (6%) and China at €12.6 billion (5%). Morocco accounted for 2% of the EU's total agri-food exports in 2025.
The European Commission's report also highlights a softer backdrop for EU agri-food trade as a whole. The bloc exported €138.7 billion in agri-food products during the first seven months of 2026, down 1% from the same period a year earlier. EU agri-food exports reached €239 billion across the full year in 2025. Changes in the value of several major agricultural commodities also affected trade.
Lower cocoa prices contributed to a decline in the value of EU imports, while the bloc's imports of coffee, tea, cocoa and spices fell by €4.8 billion, or 19%. Other categories, such as cereal imports, fell by €609 million, while dairy imports dropped by €308 million. However, fruit and nut imports rose by €587 million, or 3%. Morocco's continued growth in agri-food exports to the EU is a positive trend in this context.
