Graded, packed and checked before it leaves Agadir.
You tell us the variety, calibre, class, packaging and weekly volume. We match you with packhouses that can hold that specification for the whole season, and we stand on the line to make sure they do.
One contact for buyers in Germany and the Nordics. On the ground in Morocco for the growers.
Products and calibres
Specifications we supply as standard. Other varieties, sizes and packs on request.
Calibres follow the EU marketing standards for fruit and vegetables (Delegated Regulation 2023/2429) and UNECE standards where they exist. Final specification is agreed per order.
Season calendar
Moroccan supply peaks in the months when Northern European fields and greenhouses are empty.
From field to your dock
Every load goes through the same five checks. You get the report before the truck leaves.
-
Grower selection
We visit farms and packhouses and check certificates, capacity and their record with European buyers.
-
Pre-harvest testing
Residue analysis in an accredited lab against EU maximum residue levels, plus brix or dry-matter checks.
-
Grading and packing
Fruit is calibrated, graded and packed to your size code, class, label and pallet pattern.
-
Pre-shipment inspection
We check calibre, defects, pulp temperature and labels on the loading dock, with photos and a written report.
-
Cold chain to delivery
Reefer trucks with temperature loggers. We follow the load to arrival and handle any claim with the supplier.

A family business on both sides
Atlas Nord is run by an uncle and nephew. One of us has spent years with growers, cooperatives and packhouses across Souss-Massa and the Gharb. The other works with buyers in Europe and handles contracts, logistics and communication.
That split is the service: someone you can call in your working hours, and someone who can be at the packhouse the next morning.
For Moroccan growers and packhouses
Do you export, or want to export, to Northern Europe? We bring you serious buyers with clear specifications and stay with you from the first sample to the first season.
We work with producers who hold GLOBALG.A.P. or are working towards it, and who can commit to steady weekly volumes.
