Between July 2024 and March 2025, Morocco shipped around 5,000 tons of tomatoes to Norway—an increase of nearly 38% compared to the same period the previous season. That surge marks a seasonal record for Moroccan tomato exports to the Scandinavian country, signaling a sharp upward trend in trade between the two nations.
January 2025 alone saw exports reach 1,150 tons, the highest monthly volume Morocco has ever recorded in the Norwegian market. This growth isn’t just a one-off—it reflects a broader shift in market dynamics. Back in the 2019/2020 season, Moroccan tomatoes made up just 6% of Norway’s imports. Fast forward to the first nine months of the 2024/2025 season, and that share has jumped to more than 29%.
Morocco is now Norway’s third-largest tomato supplier, trailing only Spain and the Netherlands. But while exports from those two European giants are trending downward, Morocco’s presence is expanding steadily, carving out an increasingly prominent role.
This momentum stems from Morocco’s ability to meet the strict quality and supply standards demanded by Nordic buyers. Favorable weather conditions combined with modern farming practices have enabled Moroccan producers to consistently deliver tomatoes that score high in flavor, durability, and compliance with international norms.
At the same time, Morocco is broadening its agricultural export portfolio to Norway. Alongside tomatoes, the country is now sending products like clementines, blueberries, and frozen raspberries, aligning with the tastes and expectations of Norwegian consumers. This diversification strategy is reinforcing Morocco’s position as a key player in Norway’s fresh produce market.
