EU-28: Citrus Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

MY 2018/19 EU-28 citrus production is projected to reach 11.6 MMT, an eight percent growth compared to previous year. The regional increase is due to an expected rebound in Spanish production, the main EU-28 citrus producer. Favorable weather conditions experienced in the Southern EU countries with rainy spring and mild summer facilitated good flowering and fruit setting. Spain expects a 14.2 percent higher citrus production than the previous year at 7.2 MMT. Strategic markets destinations for EU-28 citrus exports continue to be Canada, the Middle East and China. The rebound of EU citrus production may result in a reduction of EU citrus imports. In addition, EU imports of U.S. grapefruit and orange juice are expected to continue on a downward trend.
