Madar (Rabat) - Tomato prices on Moroccan retail markets showed the first signs of easing on Saturday, November 7, 2026, falling from 17 dirhams to between 13 and 15 dirhams per kilo, according to observations by Moroccan news site Hespress.
Retailers in several popular and neighbourhood markets in the capital, Rabat, confirmed the drop to the site. It comes as Moroccan authorities have halted tomato exports to African markets.
An official source quoted without being named attributed the earlier rise mainly to temporary weather factors: the harvest of early tomatoes in the Souss-Massa region was relatively delayed by lower temperatures since October, slowing ripening and temporarily reducing supply to the domestic market. The source added that the price has remained stable at around 6.7 dirhams per kilo at the Inezgane reference wholesale market.
A government source told Hespress the government was making "sustained and continuous efforts" to keep prices as stable as possible and ensure regular supply to the market in the coming days.
According to the same source, official data up to November 5, 2026 show egg prices down on last year to a national average of 1.3 dirhams per unit, fruit prices relatively stable with oranges down 6%, and a marked fall in livestock feed prices such as barley, straw and bran, thanks to a better 2025-2026 cereal harvest.
The agriculture ministry expects prices to gradually rebalance as the seasonal production of fruit and vegetables peaks in the coming days, Hespress reported.
