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.

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.

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.

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.
