Morocco was the fourth‑largest African trade partner of the United States in 2025, with bilateral goods exchanges reaching $7.5 billion, even as Africa as a whole accounted for less than 1.5% of total US trade.
Morocco’s exports to the United States totaled $1.96 billion, consisting mainly of fertilizers, semiconductors, textiles, agricultural products and vehicles, according to the US Census Bureau data.
US exports to Morocco, including fuels, aircraft and high‑technology equipment, reached $5.51 billion, leaving Rabat with a $3.65 billion trade deficit.
Overall, Africa’s goods trade with the United States amounted to $83.44 billion out of America’s $5.64 trillion in global trade, underscoring the continent’s limited role in global supply chains.
African exports to the United States reached $43.02 billion, representing only 1.25% of total US imports, largely driven by raw materials such as hydrocarbons, minerals and agricultural commodities.
South Africa remained the United States’ top African trade partner with $23.05 billion in exchanges and a $10.10 billion surplus. Egypt followed with $12.54 billion in trade but posted a $6.63 billion deficit, while Nigeria ranked third at $12 billion, recording a $1.80 billion deficit.
