Morocco Becomes 3rd Brussels Sprout Exporter Worldwide

Morocco rose to become the world’s third-largest exporter of Brussels sprouts in 2025, shipping 32,600 tonnes. Driven by annual growth of 54%, the Kingdom is establishing itself as a key supplier to Africa and Europe.

The Kingdom reached a record export level in 2025, generating more than 14 million dollars in revenue, an increase of 10% year on year. This performance now places Morocco just behind Mexico and the Netherlands. This meteoric rise is based on average annual growth of 54% over the past five years, highlighting the move upmarket of the country’s agricultural sectors.

Africa has become the main outlet for Moroccan production, absorbing most of the volumes. Mauritania alone accounts for 60.9% of exports, followed by Senegal with 23.3%. Senegalese demand has also surged by 30% in one year, confirming the success of Rabat’s trade strategy focused on South-South cooperation.

The European market remains strategic, representing 14.6% of total sales. Brexit notably opened major opportunities in the United Kingdom, where Moroccan exports have increased tenfold in recent years. During certain peak periods, Moroccan products now cover nearly half of the United Kingdom’s import needs for Brussels sprouts.

Exporters’ flexibility makes it possible to maintain a presence in markets throughout the year. Production targets Europe between March and June, then shifts massively toward West Africa between August and December. This year, Morocco also benefited from declining European production, caused by waves of intense frost, to strengthen its position as a reliable supplier.
