Rabat – Morocco has become the leading supplier of blueberries to Saudi Arabia, outperforming several other markets including Chile, Peru, and South Africa.
Data from agriculture-focused news outlet East Fruit said that Morocco has exported 480 tonnes of fresh blueberries to Saudi Arabia in the 2022/2023 market year.
Morocco has doubled the number of its blueberry exports to the Gulf country, compared to less than 200 tonnes exported last year.
“It is noteworthy that Moroccan farmers started to supply blueberries to this destination only three seasons ago and have since managed to double or triple their sales volumes every year,” the outlet said.
The blueberry exports to the Gulf country have generated $3 million of export revenue for Morocco, it added.

The news outlet further emphasized Morocco’s global position as a leading supplier of fresh berries. According to statistics, Morocco is among the seven largest global exporters of fresh berries and is fourth in exports of cultivated berries.
