Israel: Citrus Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Post forecasts Israel’s MY 2014/15 (October-September) citrus production at 604 thousand metric tons (TMT), up nearly 17 percent from MY2013/14. The increase is attributable to record production of easy peelers and an increase in orange production due to favorable weather conditions. Post expects an increase of 21 percent in citrus exports in MY 2014/15, due to the increase in production as well as above average fruit size and quality. China’s phyto-sanitary ban is likely to be removed in MY 2014/15; hence Israeli citrus is expected to be shipped to China in the coming months. In MY2013/14, Mandarin exports totaled 53 TMT, representing 32 percent of all Israeli citrus exports.
