European Union: Citrus Semi-annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   E42023-0021

In MY 2022/23, European Union (EU) citrus production is projected to amount to 10.4 million metric tons (MMT), 10 percent down from the previous season, especially impacting oranges and lemons, and slightly lower than previous estimations. The reduced production is mainly driven by strong expected decreases in Spain resulting from a combination of 2022 spring rains negatively impacting flowering and fruit setting and a severe drought experienced in 2023. Due to an expected decline in domestic consumption because of increasing citrus prices, EU citrus supply may not be supplemented with higher imports, except for oranges.
