In the last two months of 2025, Morocco covered over 70% of the EU's extra-EU tomato imports.

Omissions

• The 70.6% figure found in trade press reports covers September–December 2025 (four months), not exclusively the 'last two months' (November–December 2025) as stated in the claim.
• The confirmed figure comes from secondary trade reporting (FreshPlaza, Hespress), likely based on a market report drawing on Eurostat/DG TAXUD customs data; no primary Eurostat monthly breakdown for November–December 2025 specifically was found.
• Context: EU imports of Moroccan tomatoes in October 2025 were anomalously low (8,497 tonnes vs an average of 66,675 tonnes) due to an apparent data-reporting issue, which may affect period averages; no evidence suggests the November–December share was below 70%.
• The claim's temporal reference ('last two months of 2025') is slightly imprecise relative to the available data, though the underlying magnitude (over 70%) is corroborated.
