The Spanish Ministry of Agriculture has predicted a significant decrease in the citrus yield for the upcoming season, with a projected total of 5.968 million tons, marking a 15.6% decrease from the previous season and a 12.8% drop from the five-year average. This is the smallest harvest since the 2012/13 season. The extreme weather conditions, including excessive rainfall during flowering and fruit set, and high summer temperatures, coupled with irrigation restrictions, have contributed to this decline. Oranges, mandarins, lemons, and grapefruits have all seen a decrease in yield. Despite the overall decline, oranges are expected to remain the largest portion of the harvest. The forecasts for the harvest are based on Fruktia, a new mathematical modeling tool developed by the ministry to predict the yield of each season in sectors that are prone to oversupply.
