How Moroccan cucumber is transforming the Spanish market
VU
Spanish farmers demand measures to protect their production.
Moroccan cucumber has gained a prominent position in the Spanish market, becoming one of the most demanded agricultural products. In recent years, Moroccan exports to Spain have grown remarkably, surpassing even local producers in terms of supply and competitiveness.
This phenomenon is mainly due to Morocco's favorable climate, which allows year-round harvests, along with lower production costs and efficient logistics. These factors have allowed Moroccan cucumber to stand out in quality and price, gaining space in Spanish supermarkets.
However, this situation has generated controversy. Spanish farmers denounce "unfair competition", pointing out that less strict regulations in Morocco and certain trade agreements favor these imports. Meanwhile, consumers are increasingly opting for an affordable, good quality product.
The success of Moroccan cucumber has not only transformed the Spanish market, but has also opened a debate on how to balance international competitiveness with the protection of local production.
