Increased Volume of Meyer Lemons in Türkiye Pressures Prices Down 64.51% MoM

The Turkish citrus season, which begins with lemons in September, features Meyer lemons available in the first week of the month. In 2023, the overall citrus harvest in Turkey reached 3.2 million metric tons (mmt). While an August heat wave affected lemon crops, potentially delaying the harvest, the impact is anticipated on lemon quality rather than volume. This is mirrored in the wholesale price of Meyer lemons, which saw a significant drop in September 2023, reflecting fluctuations due to supply and demand dynamics in Türkiye.
