Mexico: Citrus Annual
Link to report:
Drought conditions continue to hamper citrus production in a number of states into the beginning months of marketing year (MY) 2019/20, resulting in similar production level forecasts as MY 2018/19. Final production will vary depending on weather throughout the year. According to sources, citrus exports are forecast to increase due to strong international demand and attractive prices. Mexico remains the world’s second largest producer of limes, and growers are anticipating slightly improved yields in comparison to MY 2018/19. Grapefruit production has shown a steady increase in recent years due to consumer preferences to incorporate healthier foods into their diets.
