While tomato acreage in Europe shrinks, Morocco has almost tripled its area between 2013 and 2022 (from 5,500ha to almost 14,000ha), driving total tomato exports up by 61.7% in volume and over 300% in value (from €323M in 2013 to 982M in 2022). In 2022, Morocco exported 740,661 tons of tomatoes to the world, of which 557,605 tons (75%) went to the EU, according to European Commission
