Middle East and Africa Fruits and Vegetables Market Analysis by Mordor Intelligence

The Middle East and Africa fruits and vegetables market is forecast to grow from USD 72.32 billion in 2025 to USD 76.51 billion in 2026, reaching USD 101.82 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period 2026-2031. Steady daily consumption, high import dependence across the Gulf, and rising public investment in food security systems continue to support the market by shaping sourcing, storage, and local production decisions. The disruption to maritime movement in 2026 through the Strait of Hormuz could expose operational risks linked to import dependence and push major retailers toward emergency air cargo, accelerating investment in domestic cultivation, supply diversification, and procurement planning. Controlled-environment agriculture projects, increased retail shelf space for local produce, and cold-chain expansion are also improving availability and reducing quality loss in key urban centers. Export momentum from South Africa provides additional support, as stronger regional and intercontinental trade flows broaden supply options for buyers across the Middle East and Africa fresh fruits and vegetables market. Competitive conditions remain fragmented, creating opportunities for regional distributors, greenhouse operators, and digital produce platforms to scale by combining traceability, logistics control, and dependable supply in a market that still lacks a dominant cross-regional operator.

Segment Analysis

By Type: Vegetables Anchor Market Scale as Fruits Gain Faster Momentum

Vegetables held a 56.25% market share in 2025, maintaining their position as the dominant fresh produce category across the Middle East and Africa. This is driven by the consistent demand for staple items such as tomatoes, onions, potatoes, cucumbers, and leafy greens in daily diets across both regions. Vegetable demand remains stable across income groups, as these products are distributed through wet markets, supermarkets, and foodservice channels with limited substitution. In the Middle East, greenhouse and controlled-environment farming is gradually reducing dependence on imported vegetables, particularly in categories such as tomatoes. In Africa, vegetable supply remains largely domestic and informal, though weak cold-chain infrastructure continues to limit the volume of farm output that reaches the market in saleable condition.

Fruits are projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% between 2026 and 2031, making them the faster-growing product type. This growth is supported by rising consumption of premium and health-focused fruit in GCC cities and through organized retail in markets such as South Africa. African fruit exports have also demonstrated strong long-term momentum, supporting the segment's outlook. Categories such as avocados, blueberries, grapes, and citrus are contributing greater value to the fruit segment, while local production projects in the Gulf are beginning to replace some imported premium varieties. Kenya remains an important supplier in this space, with fruits accounting for 30% of the country's horticultural export earnings in 2025. Africa's avocado export growth further highlights the region's increasing role as a premium fruit supplier to both Middle Eastern and European buyers.

Geography Analysis

The Middle East accounted for 68.5% of the fresh fruits and vegetables market in the Middle East and Africa in 2025, making it the largest regional market and the fastest-growing, projected to expand at a 6.3% CAGR between 2026 and 2031. Growth is supported by government food security programs, increased investment in controlled-environment agriculture. Saudi Arabia remains the key country, with Vision 2030 investment expanding tourism and hospitality demand for fresh produce while the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture supports greenhouse expansion to reduce import dependence. The United Arab Emirates functions as the region's premium retail center, logistics and re-export hub, and an early mover in digital traceability programs that translate food security policy into practical supply chain action.

Africa accounts for the remainder of the market, shaped by rising urban demand, expanding organized retail, and stronger horticultural export capacity. According to National Agricultural Marketing Council, South Africa recorded USD 15.1 billion in total agricultural exports in 2025, up 10% from the previous year, with fruits and nuts making up 26% of total agricultural export value in Q4 2025[2]Source: National Agricultural Marketing Council, "TRADE PERFORMANCE OF SOUTH AFRICA’S AGRICULTURAL SECTOR IN QUARTER 1 OF 2025", namc.co.za. Export growth depends heavily on phytosanitary certification and compliance with European Union and Gulf import requirements. Kenya is the second major African market, with the United Arab Emirates, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Saudi Arabia as its major export destinations. The National Horticulture Traceability System launched by the Agriculture and Food Authority in June 2026 is anticipated to reduce pest interceptions and support more stable export growth into premium European and Gulf markets.

The rest of the Middle East, including Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and Oman, shares similar import dependence characteristics and is benefiting from alternative logistics routes through Oman's Port of Duqm, Saudi Arabia's Red Sea ports, and the United Arab Emirates' Fujairah corridor. Policy developments in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are shaping technology adoption, local sourcing standards, and retail expectations across smaller nearby markets, gradually pushing the subregion toward a mixed model where local production and routing diversification are becoming more important alongside imports. In the rest of Africa, including Nigeria, Ethiopia, Morocco, and Egypt, the long-term volume opportunity remains substantial as urbanization and organized retail expansion continue to support demand formalization in fruits and vegetables.

Competitive Landscape

The Middle East and Africa fruits and vegetables market is highly competitive, encompassing multinational importers, regional processors, local cultivators using controlled environment agriculture, and digital B2B distributors. The market is divided between the import-dependent, high-value Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) markets and Sub-Saharan Africa's high-yield but fragmented production zones. As a result, companies utilizing Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) to manage extreme climates are gaining significant market advantages. Operators that invest in solar-powered cold chains and digital traceability to reduce post-harvest losses and access expanding retail channels are well-positioned in this market.

Strategic initiatives by leading participants indicate that competitive advantage is shifting toward logistics control and tighter supply integration. DP World and Al Dahra are anticipated to partner in 2026 to develop end-to-end food and agricultural supply chain solutions across the GCC, combining sourcing, cold chain, warehousing, and transport capabilities[3]Source: Food Business Middle East & Africa, "DP World and Al Dahra partner on GCC food logistics, target supply chain resilience", foodbusinessmea.com. Fresh Del Monte is anticipated to expand its Kenya operations with a new quick-freezing facility and a solar plant in early 2026, improving raw material utilization and operational efficiency at the site. Carrefour's anticipated entry into Ethiopia in 2026 is anticipated to strengthen modern retail access for locally sourced fruits and vegetable produce and reflects the growing role of organized retail platforms in shaping producer access.

These developments indicate that scale alone is not sufficient in this market, as supply reliability and route-to-market execution are becoming more important than a simple trading presence. Competitive opportunities remain in premium local production, digital distribution, and cold chain services across Africa. Operators such as NRTC, Pure Harvest Smart Farms, and other technology-driven platforms are pushing the market toward greater transparency and stricter handling standards, particularly where premium retail and foodservice buyers require better quality visibility. This trend makes procurement capability a competitive differentiator, as smaller fragmented suppliers often struggle to meet retailer requirements related to documentation, supply continuity, and shrink control. At the same time, the fragmented market structure allows regional specialists to build strong positions without needing to dominate the entire value chain.

Recent Industry Developments
