Morocco
Monday 21 June 2010
Small fruits continue to progress while oranges are declining in exports.
Medium balance sheet for the citrus fruits producers association of Morocco (Aspam): only 480.000 tons were exported instead of 530.000 planned, but small fruits realized performances.
Exports reach 480.000 tons this year that is a decline of about 30 %. The 2008/2009 season was already considered pretty poor with 478.000 tons.
Exports of oranges decrease of 16 %.
On the other side, exports of small fruits improved, Morocco sent this year 322.330 tons against 293.500 the past season. Clementine with more than 204.000 tons increased of 13 %.
