China: Citrus Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Post forecasts MY 2016/17 orange production at 6.2 million MT, down 10 percent from the previous year, due to continued citrus greening disease issues and unfavorable weather in Southern China. Chinese tangerine/mandarin crops have also been negatively impacted by citrus greening issues and severe weather with total MY 2016/17 production expected to decrease by five percent to 19.3 million MT. Citrus imports are expected to continue to grow driven by consumer demand (especially in 1st tier cities) for high-quality and counter-seasonal fruit.
