Morocco: Citrus Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   MO2023-0021
Post expects Morocco’s Tangerine/mandarin production for MY 2023/24 to reach an estimated 950,000 metric tons, increasing 3 percent over MY 2022/23, orange production should increase by 5 percent over the previous year to 820,000 MT, while lemon/lime production will reach 40,000 MT. Much of the increase in production is due to improved weather conditions compared to the previous season coupled with an increased adoption of drip irrigation techniques. Post estimates Morocco’s MY 2023/24 tangerine/mandarin exports will slightly decrease to approximately 450,000 MT due to high domestic prices while orange exports should reach around 50,000 MT and lemon/lime exports at 7,000 MT.
