Morocco has set a new benchmark in Brussels sprouts exports, surpassing previous records in 2025, according to EastFruit. Last year, Moroccan exporters shipped 32,600 tons of Brussels sprouts to international markets, generating revenues of more than USD 14 million. This represents a 10% increase over 2024 and an 8.5-fold rise compared to 2020. Over the past five years, average annual export growth has reached an impressive 54%.
Morocco now ranks among the world’s top three Brussels sprouts exporters, trailing only Mexico and the Netherlands. Shipments are made year-round, with seasonal peaks in spring and autumn. Between March and June, exports are directed primarily to Europe, where Morocco has established itself as a reliable alternative supplier. From August to December, volumes are largely destined for West African markets.
Europe remains a strategic outlet, with the Netherlands serving as a key hub for re-export across the continent. The United Kingdom has emerged as a breakthrough market: post-Brexit, Moroccan exports to Britain have increased tenfold, and in certain months account for up to half of total UK imports. In 2025, Europe represented 14.6% of Morocco’s Brussels sprouts export portfolio.

Africa, however, continues to dominate Morocco’s export structure. Mauritania and Senegal remained the leading destinations, accounting for 60.9% and 23.3% of shipments respectively. Senegal posted the strongest growth in 2025, with volumes rising 30% year-on-year. This surge was the principal driver behind Morocco’s record-setting performance.
With severe frosts impacting EU production this winter, Morocco’s role as a dependable supplier of Brussels sprouts is expected to strengthen further.
