EU-28: Citrus Annual

MY 2019/20 EU citrus production is projected to reach 10 MMT, a 12.7 percent decrease compare to the previous year. Unfavorable weather conditions are expected to significantly lower citrus production in Spain and Italy, the largest producers in the EU. The decline in EU citrus production may lead to an increase in EU imports and a decline in EU exports. Strategic export destinations for EU citrus continue to be Canada, the Middle East, and China. In MY 2018/19, EU imports of U.S. mandarins, grapefruit, and orange juice declined due to higher EU citrus production and competition from other non-EU suppliers. In addition, since the imposition of EU retaliatory in June 2018, U.S. orange juice exports dropped by 80 percent. U.S. tariffs related to the World Trade Organization case against EU aircraft subsidies may impact Spanish exports of clementines and lemons to the United States in MY2019/20.
