Interestingly, none of those reasons were listed in this article from December which seems to have perfectly predicted the current shortage. The article from December made it seem like farmers were squeezed by rising costs of labor, fertilizer, and other inputs and were facing buyers unwilling to budge on the price. So their only option was to reduce output.

The weather in morocco has been pretty bad for vegetables, and agriculture there is extremely rain dependant. Not a good year for produce, and the moroccan government is pressured to lower exports even more since the optics of exporting food products that are scarce to europe is extremely bad.
