European Union: Citrus Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

In MY 2020/21, EU citrus production is projected to grow 7.5 percent compared to previous season to 11.4 MMT. Favorable weather conditions in the top EU citrus-producing countries and a rebound from the previous season account for the projected rise in EU citrus production. The recovery in EU production and higher global demand for citrus derived from the COVID-19 pandemic may encourage EU exports to strategic markets and discourage EU imports. Strategic export markets destinations for EU citrus continue to be Canada, the Middle East, and China, followed by Switzerland, Norway, and Serbia. Additional tariffs related to the ongoing World Trade Organization (WTO) cases against aircraft subsidies is expected to continue impacting citrus trade going both ways. In addition, the terms of the new EU-UK relationship may also affect EU citrus exports to UK.
