Last reviewed August 2026. Windows are editorial ranges for a normal year, not a published schedule, and they are export weeks out of Morocco rather than arrival weeks in your market.
Morocco is Europe’s counter-season greenhouse. Souss-Massa around Agadir grows tomatoes and soft fruit through the months when Spanish and Dutch production is at its lowest, and the whole trade is built on landing in Europe in the winter. Citrus runs on the same logic, and Moroccan easy-peelers — Nadorcott, Nour — are now a fixture of the European autumn.
Most of it never touches a deep-sea container. Volume goes by refrigerated truck through Tanger Med and across to Algeciras, then overland, which is faster than any sea routing and is why Moroccan produce reaches a Rotterdam buyer in days rather than weeks. What does ship in containers is the volume going further — the UK after Brexit changed the paperwork, Russia, and increasingly West Africa. The windows below are the crop calendar; check the routing separately, because it changes what a delay costs.
Tomato
November–April peak · May, October shoulder Varieties: Round, cherry, cocktail
Roughly October to May out of Souss-Massa around Agadir, grown for the months when Northern European production has stopped. It runs alongside Almería rather than after it: the two windows overlap almost exactly, and both thin out in January.
Morocco tomato: window and arrival weeks · Tomato across every origin
Mandarin
October–February peak · March, September shoulder Varieties: Nadorcott, Nour, Clemenules
Roughly September to March. Moroccan easy-peelers are now a fixture of the European autumn, and Nadorcott in particular is the late variety that carries the season into the new year.
Morocco mandarin: window and arrival weeks · Mandarin across every origin
Orange
December–March peak · April, November shoulder Varieties: Navel, Maroc Late, Salustiana
Roughly November to April, out of the Souss and Gharb regions. Maroc Late is the variety that carries the tail of the season and is the one most European buyers know by name.
Morocco orange: window and arrival weeks · Orange across every origin
Strawberry
December–March peak · April, November shoulder
Roughly December to March out of the Loukkos, around Larache and Moulay Bousselham, peaking in February. It opens ahead of the Moroccan blueberry window in the same region and closes as that one is getting going, which is how the same growers run both.
Morocco strawberry: window and arrival weeks · Strawberry across every origin
Blueberry
February–May peak · January, June shoulder
Roughly January to June out of the Loukkos and Gharb regions. Moroccan blueberry has scaled very fast and now fills the European spring — the gap between the end of the Peruvian and Chilean programmes and the start of the European harvest.
Morocco blueberry: window and arrival weeks · Blueberry across every origin
Raspberry
March–May, October–November peak · February, June, September, December shoulder
Two windows either side of the summer, roughly October to December and February to June, out of the same northern growing regions as the blueberries.
Morocco raspberry: window and arrival weeks · Raspberry across every origin
Watermelon
May–July peak · April, August shoulder Varieties: Seedless
Roughly April to August, opening the European watermelon season ahead of the Spanish crop.
Morocco watermelon: window and arrival weeks · Watermelon across every origin
Avocado
November–March peak · April, October shoulder Varieties: Hass, Fuerte
Roughly October to April out of the Gharb and Loukkos regions, in the months when Peru has finished and Chile is winding down.
Morocco avocado: window and arrival weeks · Avocado across every origin
