YoY Export Decrease of Australian Navels Oranges and Mandarins

There has been a total of 203,193t of Navel oranges and mandarins exported from Australia from W1-W42 2022, a decrease of 19,000t YoY. The total export of Navel oranges stands at 130,123t, compared to the 2021 value of 145,936t. This drop is attributed to the Albedo breakdown at the beginning of the season, a shortage of pickers, and heavy rains. However, mandarins have done better, with a total export volume of 73,070t, only down by 3,000t YoY. The top five export markets for Navels have been Japan (30,569t), China (23,044t), Hong Kong (20,839t), Vietnam (8,345t), and Korea (7,044t). The top five export markets for Mandarins have been China (16,219t), Thailand (14,397t), the Philippines (6,789t), Indonesia (5,977t), and Vietnam (5,445t). The Australian export season has wrapped up, however, volumes will continue to grow as containers on the water are still to land in key markets.
