Tomato season by country

When Morocco and Spain ship tomatoes into the European winter, month by month, and how the two origins divide the year between them.

Peak supply November–April from Morocco. No origin on this page is at peak in May–October.

Last reviewed August 2026. Windows are editorial ranges for a normal year, not a published schedule, and they are export weeks out of the origin rather than arrival weeks in your market.

Tomatoes are Europe’s largest counter-season vegetable trade, and the calendar is really a negotiation between two origins. Morocco’s Souss-Massa ships from autumn through spring; Almería in Spain runs an overlapping window; between them the European shelf is full all winter and the price is set by how much of each is arriving.

Almost none of it is a container programme. Volume moves by refrigerated truck — Morocco through Tanger Med and across to Algeciras, Spain overland — which is faster than any sea routing. Read this window for what it does to the market rather than for shipping planning.

Morocco

November–April peak · May, October shoulder Varieties: Round, cherry, cocktail Load ports: Agadir, Casablanca, and Tanger Med

Roughly October to May out of Souss-Massa around Agadir, grown for the months when Northern European production has stopped and Spanish supply is at its thinnest.

Almost none of it is a container programme: volume moves by refrigerated truck through Tanger Med and across to Algeciras, then overland. That routing is faster than any sea option and is why Moroccan tomatoes reach a Rotterdam buyer in days.
