Egypt has continued to expand its date exports to Morocco, reaching a new seasonal record for the third consecutive year, according to EastFruit.
Between October 2024 and August 2025, Egypt exported nearly 39,100 tons of dates to Morocco, valued at US$47.6 million. The volume represents a 7% increase from the previous season and is three times higher than in the 2021/22 season.

Morocco remains Egypt's largest market for dates, accounting for more than 40% of total export volume during the 2024/25 season. Egyptian date exports typically begin in October, with peak shipments recorded between November and March, in line with Morocco's main import season. The highest monthly shipment reached 8,300 tons in February.
Globally, Egypt ranked seventh among date exporters in 2024. In the Moroccan market, however, it has maintained its lead over other suppliers for three consecutive seasons. Egypt was also the only major supplier to increase its export volume to Morocco this season, while overall Moroccan date imports declined.

As a result, Egypt's share of Morocco's date imports rose to 31%, compared with 25% the previous season and 12% in 2021/22. Egypt also achieved record seasonal exports of dates to Indonesia and continues to expand its presence in Turkey.
