Extremely Low Lemon Prices in W40 Due to High Supply in the UAE

In the last 4-5 years, this year has been one of the toughest for South African lemons in the UAE market, as lemons have been selling at extremely low prices. In W40, first-class lemon prices stand at USD 6.81, while second-class lemon prices stand at USD 7.62 per 15kg box. The reason is that most large-scale importers imported a higher volume than in 2021, resulting in many lemons being unsold and stored in their warehouses with the hope that the rates will pick up.
