European Union: Citrus Annual

Warm and dry summer conditions have driven the EU’s MY 2022/23 citrus production down to 10.5 million metric tons (MT). The production decline has been especially steep in the case of orange production, which is anticipated to decline by nearly 13 percent. The reduced domestic availability is anticipated to be only partially offset by imports, as price-sensitive consumers in a period of increasing food inflation are expected to switch to cheaper alternatives.
