Morocco emerges as the second largest zucchini supplier to the EU in 2024
In 2024, Morocco cemented its position as one of the leading zucchini suppliers to the European market, capturing a 7.7% share, although Spain remains the dominant supplier of this vegetable.
According to a report from the specialized site Hortoinfo, Morocco ranks second in supplying zucchinis to the European Union (EU), with a market share of 7.74%, translating to 37.5 million kilograms sold to European consumers.
In comparison, Spain supplied over 66% of the zucchinis imported by EU member states, reinforcing its leading position with a sales volume of 321.44 million kilograms, marking a 43.17% increase from 2015.
Overall, the zucchini market in the EU saw a significant increase, reaching 484.3 million kilograms in 2024, which represents a 28.77% rise compared to 2015, the report revealed. This surge in demand generated revenues of €649.94 million, with an average price of €1.34 per kilogram.
Despite being the second-largest supplier, Morocco managed to generate sales worth €41.65 million, with an average price of €1.11 per kilogram, lower than Spain’s €1.38 per kilogram, the source continued.
Germany ranks third as the zucchini supplier to the European market, with a volume of 25.74 million kilograms, accounting for 5.31% of total sales. This is likely due to re-exportation activities, given the significant 4.94% increase in its sales compared to 2015. German sales amounted to €38.94 million, with an average price of €1.49 per kilogram, a noticeable rise from the €1.28 per kilogram in 2015.
Turkey and the Netherlands follow, ranking fourth and fifth respectively. Turkey sold 21.21 million kilograms, representing 4.38% of the market, with an estimated value of €20.39 million. Turkish zucchinis remained competitively priced at €0.96 per kilogram, while the Netherlands sold 16.61 million kilograms but experienced a significant 36.97% decline from the previous decade.
