In 2020, the global production of lemons saw a significant increase, with a 13% rise compared to the average production from 2010 to 2018, totaling 6.4 million tons. This growth is primarily due to the European Union's increased production, which made up 28% of the global share at 1.8 million tons, positioning it as the leading lemon producer. This puts the EU ahead of Argentina, the United States, and Turkey.
