Italy: Citrus Annual
Italy’s MY 2014/15 (November/October) orange production is expected to drop by 24 percent compared to the previous campaign due to the lack of rain and the Citrus Tristeza Virus (CTV) that has infected approximately 32,000 hectares of orange groves in the provinces of Catania and Siracusa (Sicily). Italy’s MY 2014/15 tangerine production is expected to decrease by approximately 15 percent compared to the previous campaign.
