Morocco has significantly increased its sweet pepper exports to the United Kingdom, becoming the fourth largest supplier in 2025. Exports reached 8,100 tons, more than double the volume from the previous year, marking an unprecedented level. This rapid growth has seen shipments multiply by 35 over five years, with an average annual growth rate exceeding 100%. Morocco's success is largely attributed to its ability to supply during the peak consumption period between November and April, when competitors like Spain, France, and Germany reduced their volumes. In December, Moroccan deliveries peaked at 1,700 tons, achieving nearly a 10% market share for that month. This performance is supported by stable logistics and competitive pricing amidst European supply constraints. Overall, Morocco's share of UK imports reached 3.6% in 2025, up from 1.7% in 2024, surpassing France and approaching Germany, though still behind the Netherlands and Spain.
