The On-Going Spanish Grapefruit Campaign for the Star Ruby Variety Has Strong Demand From the European Market

The Spanish grapefruit campaign for the Star Ruby variety is progressing well in the first week of November. Grapefruit production in 2022 is expected to increase, resulting in a 15% increase in sales YoY, which will cover the increase in production costs this year. The European demand for Spanish grapefruit and other citrus fruits is extremely high and is taking nearly all of the current supply. In W45, the grapefruit price stood around USD 1.04–1.14/kg EXW. The grapefruit quality is excellent this season, despite the fact that it is only available in small to medium sizes in some production areas of southern Spain due to water scarcity and water restrictions.
