China: Citrus Annual
Link to report:
Despite challenges related to the slow economy, citrus production in China for marketing year (MY) 2023/24 is expected to continue to grow, outperforming other fruit categories. Growth is anticipated in all citrus crops, resulting from favorable weather and increased yields from replanted trees following bouts of citrus greening disease in previous years. Consumer demand for citrus is expected to remain strong, as Chinese consumers seek to increase their daily intake of Vitamin C. Although trade in citrus is small in comparison to production, noticeable increases in exports could be witnessed if production outpaces consumption.
