Between 2021 and 2025, Spanish imports of tomatoes from Portugal almost tripled, according to data published by Hortoinfo based on figures from Estacom under TARIC code 0702. Over this five year period, Portuguese volumes surpassed those from Morocco, which had previously led the Spanish import market.
In 2025, Spain purchased a total of 304.99 million kilos of tomatoes, representing an increase of 69.7 percent compared to 2021. These imports amounted to a total value of 316.45 million euros, with an average price of 1.04 euros per kilo.
Portugal consolidated its position as Spain's main supplier, delivering 165.92 million kilos, accounting for 54.4 percent of total imports. This figure is almost three times higher than the 58.46 million kilos imported from Portugal in 2021. The value of these purchases reached 102.81 million euros, at an average price of 0.62 euros per kilo.
Morocco ranked second, with 87.6 million kilos sold to Spain, representing 28.7 percent of the total. The North African country lost its leading position to Portugal over the past three years. Moroccan tomato exports to Spain were valued at 141.51 million euros, with an average price of 1.62 euros per kilo, making them 161 percent more expensive than Portuguese tomatoes.
