Meanwhile, in February, FranceAgriMer noted that «thanks to a good harvest expected in 2026, Morocco, the leading importer of French wheat this season, is expected to reduce its imports in the coming months». The agency added that «France has already exported nearly 7.7 million tons of soft wheat from July to December 2025, marking a 75% increase compared to 2024/25 (4.4 million tons). Morocco remains our main client (1.9 million tons), ahead of Belgium (1.2 million tons)».
