Moroccan Citrus Forecast for 2022/23 Season

The 2022/23 Moroccan citrus season is expected to start in the first or second week of October. Producers and exporters expect export volumes to be down 50% for clementine and mandarins and down 60% for the oranges compared to the previous season. The primary reason is unfavourable climatic conditions in the form of a heat wave combined with lack of water in the citrus producing regions. However, fruits are expected to be 2mm larger in size on average compared to the 2021/22 season with better quality, especially less marbling.
