Morocco exported 1,200 tons of lemons to the UK between November 2024 and August 2025. This volume exceeds Morocco’s overall lemon exports to the UK over the past decade, says East Fruit news platform.
The United Kingdom has become among Morocco’s most important fruit export destinations, ranking just behind Spain and France in recent years. Since 2023, Morocco has become the UK’s leading supplier of raspberries, and has also taken the top position in blueberries.
Moroccan exporters have also increased shipment of strawberries, mandarins, watermelons, and avocados to the UK. Though Spain, South Africa, and Brazil remain the dominant suppliers of lemons to the UK, the North African Kingdom is rising as a major competitor. Thanks to its sharp increase in shipments, Morocco has significantly improved its standing among lemon suppliers to the UK.
This growth is largely driven by Moroccan exports which amounted to £2.7 billion ($3.5 billion). Fruits and vegetables remain the main Moroccan exported products followed by electrical equipment, furniture, and textiles.
