The paradox is interesting: France remains ahead by volume, with 494,547 tonnes exported to Spain. Morocco comes second on this criterion, with 232,993 tonnes. But by value, Moroccan products dominate the supplier rankings by a wide margin.

According to Spanish customs data processed by FEPEX, Spanish imports of fresh fruits and vegetables reached 1.7 million tonnes between January and April, for 2.095 billion euros.

Morocco at the heart of non-EU purchases

Growth comes mainly from countries outside the European Union. Their sales to Spain reached 917,307 tonnes, up 7% by volume, for 1.518 billion euros, up 9%.

These countries now represent 72% of the total value of Spanish imports of fresh fruits and vegetables, compared to 28% for European Union suppliers. By volume too, third countries move ahead, with 52% of the total.

Behind Morocco by value, Peru reaches 183 million euros, Costa Rica 113 million and Brazil 87 million, with a strong increase of 17.5%. France thus retains its advantage in tonnes, but Morocco asserts itself in the value of Spanish purchases.
