Morocco Eggs

FAQs

Where does Morocco import eggs?

Morocco has a strong domestic egg production sector that meets most of its shell egg needs. However, the country regularly imports processed egg products—such as powdered and liquid eggs—to support its food manufacturing industry, bakeries, and hospitality sector.

Top sources of egg imports for Morocco:

• European Union (France, Spain, Netherlands) – Trusted partners supplying high-quality processed eggs, including pasteurized liquid and egg powder.
  
• Brazil & United States – Non-EU countries that provide shelf-stable, certified egg products used in large-scale food processing.
  
• Turkey & Ukraine – Emerging suppliers offering competitive prices for processed egg ingredients.
  

Eggs Unlimited partners with EU-certified producers and Moroccan importers to supply traceable and compliant egg products that support Morocco’s growing food and export sectors.

Why does Morocco Import Eggs?

Morocco’s domestic production covers the bulk of its retail shell egg demand. However, imports play a key role in the industrial food supply chain and help meet certification or specification demands.

Key reasons for imports:

• Food industry demand
  Processed eggs are essential for large-scale bakery operations, ready-meal production, and confectionery manufacturing.
  
• Product safety and shelf life
  Powdered and pasteurized eggs offer extended shelf life, are easy to transport, and are ideal for industrial users without cold chain access.
  
• Certification needs
  Halal, organic, and BRCGS-certified products are important for Moroccan manufacturers supplying both domestic and export markets.
  
• Seasonal and tourism-driven demand
  Morocco’s hospitality and catering sectors experience peak egg demand during holidays and tourist seasons.

What makes eggs in Morocco compliant?

Imported egg products must comply with both Moroccan national food regulations and international food safety standards.

Regulatory authorities:

• ONSSA (Office National de Sécurité Sanitaire des Produits Alimentaires) – Oversees sanitary compliance for food imports, including processed egg products.
  
• Customs (Administration des Douanes) – Manages import tariffs, classification, and customs clearance procedures.
  

Required documentation:

• Veterinary Health Certificate from the country of origin
  
• Certificate of Origin
  
• Microbiological and chemical safety reports
  
• ONSSA sanitary import approval
  
• Product traceability documents
  
• Labeling in French or Arabic (depending on end use)
  

Labeling Requirements:

• Product name and egg format (e.g., Poudre d’œufs entiers pasteurisés)
  
• Net content
  
• Country of origin
  
• Production and expiration dates
  
• Storage instructions
  
• Lot or batch number
  
• Importer/distributor contact
  
• Certifications (Halal, Organic, BRCGS, etc.)

How much do eggs cost in Morocco?

Egg prices in Morocco are shaped by both domestic market conditions and global egg product pricing.

Main pricing factors:

• Feed costs
  Inputs such as corn and soy influence local egg production costs and affect competitiveness versus imported products.
  
• Exchange rates and import duties
  Currency fluctuations and tariff levels can affect the landed price of egg imports.
  
• Egg type and certifications
  Premium pricing applies to egg powder, pasteurized products, and items with Halal, Organic, or food safety certifications.
  
• Shipping and logistics
  Proximity to Europe allows for efficient and cost-effective transport of processed eggs, while shipments from the Americas may carry higher freight costs.
