2022/23 Primofiori Lemon Campaign Harvest Decreased by 10% Due to Heavy Rains in Spain

The expected decrease in the 2022/23 Spanish lemon production has been confirmed after the first few weeks of Primofiori lemon harvest. There is at least a 10% decrease in harvest volume compared to the 2021/22 season as a result of the torrential rains that were experienced in March and April, causing major flower loss in trees. Starting in April of 2023, a much stronger reduction is anticipated for the Verna lemon campaign compared to last season at around 25%. Additionally, the overseas season is expected to start in mid November with the first ETDs. In W42, the conventional Primofiori lemon price stands at USD 1.17-1.27/kg EXW Spain and the BIO Primofiori price stands at USD 1.86-1.96/kg EXW Spain.
