Morocco’s citrus sector gains a boost with Brazil opening its market to Moroccan clementines and mandarins. An agreement between ONSSA and MAPA sets phytosanitary standards, facilitating trade. This timing, outside Brazil’s domestic season, enhances export potential to Latin America. With over 600,000 tons of citrus exported globally, Morocco aims to strengthen its position in Brazil, home to 215 million people. The move aligns with the flourishing Morocco-Brazil relationship, marked by 60 years of diplomacy and $3 billion in trade in 2022, with a 37% increase in Q1 2024. Collaboration extends to maritime logistics, food security, and renewable energies, promising further growth.
