Production of fresh oranges in 2016/17 is forecast by Post at 470,000 metric tons, slightly above the previous year. Good seasonal conditions and improved access to water irrigation in recent years are expected to support increased production. Australia is a counter-cyclical exporter of oranges to northern hemisphere markets while the United States exports oranges during Australia’s off-season. Over 2016, Australia’s free trade agreements with China, Japan and Korea continued to open up opportunities for citrus exporters, which compete with U.S. suppliers in these markets. Post forecasts exports of oranges to reach 230,000 MT in 2016/17.
