In Toulouse supermarkets, some tomatoes are sold for up to 7.45 euros per kilo, compared with 1.89 euros for a variety imported from Morocco. A spectacular gap as the price of vine tomatoes has jumped by 31% in one year.
Five months after the Russian imports controversy, U.S. authorities announce that Morocco now accepts pork casings from the United States. A strictly regulated opening from a health and safety standpoint.
At a time when tensions over Ceuta are weakening bilateral relations, energy figures reveal a less visible dependence: in 2025, Spain supplied the equivalent of 8 % of Morocco’s electricity demand, as well as nearly a quarter of its imports of petroleum products.
Spain spent nearly 58 million euros purchasing Moroccan olive oil in the first half of 2026, compared with just 641,000 euros a year earlier. A spectacular surge in a country that nevertheless comfortably dominates global production.
Crude oil is trading at around 90 dollars a barrel, but refined diesel is reaching approximately 191 dollars. This exceptional gap is hitting Morocco particularly hard, as it has not refined oil since the Samir refinery shut down and imports its fuels already processed.
Spain has reduced its purchases of Moroccan fruit and vegetables by volume since the beginning of the year. But it is paying significantly more for them: nearly 20,000 fewer tonnes were imported, for a bill that was over 56 million euros higher.
A study by the European Commission puts a figure on the potential impact of tighter pesticide rules. In its intermediate scenario, Moroccan tomato exports to the European Union could fall by around 195,000 tonnes, or nearly 60%.
Two declarations submitted to the same United Nations database give radically different figures for 2025: $380.75 million in Israeli imports on the Moroccan side, compared with $115.75 million in exports to Morocco on the Israeli side. A gap of $265 million remains to be explained.
British exports of goods to Morocco reached £2.153 billion in the first half of 2026. That is already 45% more than the £1.486 billion recorded during the twelve months of 2025.
Moroccan couscous, sardines and olives had almost disappeared from the Israeli market under pressure from the boycott. One year later, all three categories are recording spectacular increases, even as total Israeli imports originating from Morocco decline.
Morocco is part of the system put in place by Israel to secure its wheat supply in the event of a crisis. The Kingdom is listed alongside four other countries in a strategy designed to maintain imports both in normal times and during emergencies.
Moroccan products sold to Israel are nearly four times more significant when their true origin is considered rather than the country from which they are invoiced. A discrepancy of more than 33 million dollars appears in Israel’s own customs data.
