Costa Rica: Citrus Annual
Link to report:
FAS/San José expects orange production to increase approximately 11 percent in marketing year (MY) 2024/25 to 250,000 metric tons. Production in MY 2023/24 was lower than previously expected at 225,000 metric tons as a result of erratic rainfall patterns associated with the El Niño weather phenomenon. According to government sources, citrus greening is affecting most production areas of the country and has caused many small producers to abandon orange production or shift their land to other activities.
