Seasonality

The full 12-month calendar

Sub-varieties are shown as their own rows wherever their window differs from the parent category. Where a window is narrow or thinly sourced, the row says so instead of overstating it. Frozen fruit is marked year-round because IQF product is not tied to harvest.

Peak volume In season Year-round Out of season

Sub-variety windows

Lemon runs April to July while orange runs November to July, and green-skin avocado opens ahead of Hass. Programme planning should use the sub-rows, not the category headline.

Fresh versus stored

Dates and apples both have a defined harvest and a separate stored-product window. Most date export volume moves as stored product, available year-round.

Where data is thin

Table grape runs a narrow, thinly sourced June to July window. We flag that rather than filling it in.

Carob derivatives

Carob pods harvest in a narrow August to September window, but flour, gum, powder and syrup stay available beyond it through processing and storage, in the same way stored dates run past their harvest.

Apricot and raspberry windows

Apricot season starts earliest in the south (Skoura, Marrakech region) before the national peak in June. Raspberry harvest runs longer than most categories, with export volumes concentrated in autumn and spring rather than a single peak month.
