Egypt: Citrus Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

In MY2014/2015, Egypt’s total planted area to citrus will remain unchanged while total area harvested will increase by 1.7 percent due to better growing conditions. Total orange production is forecast to increase by 2.3 percent or 60 TMT to reach 2.63 MMT. Total bearing trees are forecast to increase by 150,000 to reach 9.25 million trees compared to 9.1 million trees in the previous season. Fresh domestic consumption is projected to increase by 10,000 MT., while exports will increase by 4.5 percent. The increase in exports is driven by a higher demand from the Russian market due to its ban on orange imports from the European Union, mainly from Spain, Greece and Italy. Russia, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Netherlands will remain Egypt’s top export destinations.
