Mexico: Citrus Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Orange production in marketing year (MY) 2020/21 is forecast to partially rebound after drought decimated last year’s crop by nearly 40 percent. Residual soil health effects and low producer investments in orchard rehabilitation will prohibit full production recovery. Lack of government support for drought recovery, production inputs, and pest mitigation is likely to prevent significant sector growth in the coming years. While orange consumption is forecast higher than the previous MY, it is forecasted below average levels due to ongoing effects of COVID-19 sanitary measures. The hotel, restaurant, and institutional (HRI) sector in Mexico has been greatly affected by COVID-19, with capacity restrictions still in place, and significant permanent closures have occurred. As a result, a higher percentage of fruit is expected to be sent to the processing industry.
