Italy: Citrus Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Italy’s marketing year (MY) 2017/18 orange and tangerine productions are preliminarily forecast to drop by 10 and 5 percent, respectively, compared to MY 2015/16 due to the summer drought that affected the Italian peninsula. However, beneficial rains that occurred at the end of September in the main producing regions helped mitigate the drought effects, while guaranteeing a high quality product. Calibers are expected to be medium. Italy’s MY 2017/18 lemon production is forecast to remain flat.
