Considered the largest European trade fair dedicated to gourmet and delicatessen products, this major event will provide a forum of choice for Moroccan gastronomy, thus strengthening the presence of its high-end products on the international scene.

In a 348 m2 pavilion, Morocco will highlight its culinary know-how, the richness and quality of its products, through the participation of 15 exhibitors representing the fishing, olive, processed and local products sectors.

Founded more than 35 years ago, the Madrid Gourmets fair is an undisputed reference in the European food industry, providing a privileged platform to explore the latest trends and innovations in the sector.

Recent figures for bilateral trade between Morocco and Spain in the agri-food sector show constant evolution. At the end of November 2023, the value of Moroccan agri-food exports to Spain reached 18.6 billion dirhams, representing 25% of Morocco’s total exports in this sector.

In terms of volume, Moroccan exports of agri-food products to Spain reached 661.2 KT in 2023, while processed agricultural products recorded a significant growth of 7% (compared to 2021), reaching 130 KT.

Seafood also saw notable growth of 19% (compared to 2022), with volume reaching 163.1 KT.

Morocco’s participation in the Madrid Gourmets Fair aims to strengthen this positive dynamic by promoting national products with high added value, thus promoting the expansion of high-end Moroccan products on European markets.
