Following up on the conversation about the record exports of Moroccan blueberries, EastFruit highlights the sharp increase in their deliveries to Saudi Arabia. In the MY 2022/23, Morocco exported 480 tons of fresh blueberries to Saudi Arabia, compared to less than 200 tons a year earlier. For instance, over the last two seasons, deliveries from Morocco to Saudi Arabia increased sevenfold, and in the current season, sales brought Morocco almost $3 million of export revenue. Until recently, the main exporters of blueberries to Saudi Arabia were South Africa, Peru, the USA, and Mexico. Moreover, Moroccan blueberries accounted for 43% of exports to Saudi Arabia, and in the peak months (from January to May) it exceeded 80%.
