Green gold: Morocco to break another avocado export record in 2023/24
by EastFruit4 Apr 240366
Morocco’s avocado production and export sector is on an upward trajectory, consistently boosting trade volumes and generating increasing foreign exchange earnings for the nation. The 2023/24 season is poised to continue this trend, with projections indicating a potential new high in avocado exports, as reported by EastFruit.

A 20% increase in the country’s avocado harvest in 2023, compared to the previous year, has been a significant contributor to this growth, thanks to favorable weather and expanded cultivation areas. However, ongoing challenges such as persistent droughts, water scarcity, and the discontinuation of government irrigation subsidies for new plantations are pressing issues that may impact future exports..

While diversification of the Moroccan export market is underway, it is progressing slowly. Seasonal fluctuations see avocado exports to countries outside the top five importers ranging from 700 to 1,900 tons. A notable development is the introduction of Moroccan Hass avocados to new markets, such as Georgia, where they made their debut in March through direct shipments.
