Europe now buys €25.5 billion from Morocco, and agriculture is no longer dominant

Trade relations between Morocco and the European Union have changed in nature. According to the latest data from the European Commission, the Twenty-Seven purchased €25.5 billion worth of goods from the kingdom in 2025.

More than €12.9 billion concerned machinery and transport equipment. This category accounted for 50.6% of European imports from Morocco, or more than one euro out of every two.

It includes, in particular, cars assembled in the kingdom, automotive components, electrical wiring and various industrial equipment. These figures confirm Morocco’s transformation into a production platform directly integrated into European industrial supply chains.

Agriculture retains an important place, but a clearly more modest one. Moroccan agricultural products sold in the European Union represented €3.7 billion in 2025, or around 14.5% of European imports from the kingdom.

Tomatoes, citrus fruits, berries and vegetables remain major exports, but their combined value represents less than one-third of that of machinery and transport equipment. This development puts into perspective the weight sometimes attributed to Moroccan agricultural exports to the European market.

Industry now accounts for more than half of European purchases

Trade in goods between the two partners reached a total of €62.2 billion in 2025. The European Union sold €36.7 billion worth of products to Morocco and imported €25.5 billion, thereby maintaining a trade surplus of approximately €11.2 billion.

Europe remains by far the kingdom’s leading trading partner. It absorbs more than half of its exports and supplies a comparable share of its imports.

The structure of this trade nevertheless shows that Morocco no longer mainly sells agricultural products or raw materials to Europe. Vehicles, components, cables and industrial equipment now occupy the top position.

This specialization strengthens interdependence with European factories. A significant share of the products imported by the Union comes from European groups that have established their manufacturing lines or suppliers in Morocco in order to supply the continental market directly.

The automotive industry particularly illustrates this development. Around the sites in Tangier and Kénitra, Morocco has developed an ecosystem bringing together manufacturers, equipment suppliers, and producers of seats, cables and electronic components. The aerospace and electronics industries are also contributing to this move upmarket.

With €12.9 billion purchased in the machinery and transport equipment category alone, the European Union thus confirms that Morocco’s leading export product to its market is no longer agricultural: it now comes out of its factories.
