Turkey sold fewer furniture, paper and forest products to Morocco in July, but the drop in export earnings was smaller because companies shipped more high-value goods. Exports to Morocco reached 28.9 million kilograms, worth $28.2m, in July 2026. That was 2.85 million kilograms less than a year earlier, when Turkey exported 31.8 million kilograms worth $29.9m. In value terms, exports fell by about $1.7m.
Morocco was Turkey’s fifth-largest market for the sector in July, accounting for 3.9% of all exports.
During the first seven months of 2026, Turkey exported 191.2 million kilograms of products to Morocco, worth $174.7m. Compared with the same period in 2025, exports were down by just over 19 million kilograms, while export earnings fell by around $5.1m from $179.7m.
Morocco ranked as Turkey’s fourth-largest export market for the sector between January and July, also taking a 3.9% share.
The Mediterranean Exporters Association (AKİB) saw a much sharper decline.
Its exports to Morocco totalled 1.24 million kilograms, worth $2.06m, in July. That was almost 850,000 kilograms less than the same month last year. Export value also dropped by about $320,000, from $2.38m.
Morocco was AKİB’s sixth-largest export market in July, making up 2.8% of its total exports.
The figures show that Turkish companies exported less by weight but held up revenues by selling more expensive products, including finished furniture and specialised paper packaging.
The slowdown comes after changes to the Turkey-Morocco Free Trade Agreement, which brought back tariffs on some Turkish industrial products to support manufacturing in Morocco.
AKİB represents exporters in five main industries: furniture; paper and cardboard packaging; timber, boxes and pallets; wood-based products such as MDF, particleboard and plywood; and forestry products including cork, wild thyme and laurel leaves.
Major exporters to Morocco include Erciyes Anadolu Holding (İstikbal, Bellona and Mondi Home), Kastamonu Entegre, Hayat Kimya, Yataş Group, Çilek Concept and Doğtaş Kelebek Group.
Most of the products come from factories in Kayseri, Çukurova and Hatay. Turkish companies supply furniture to hotels, offices and retailers such as KITEA and Marjane, while Moroccan manufacturers import Turkish MDF, particleboard and other wood materials for local production.
