According to the US Department of Agriculture, Morocco's citrus production is projected to significantly increase by 32% in the 2020/2021 crop year, reaching 2.3 million tonnes. This growth is attributed to an expansion in cultivation area and the implementation of a new irrigation strategy to combat droughts. The country's mandarin production is expected to rise by 30% to 1.2 million tonnes, and orange production by 27% to 1.1 million tonnes. Lemon and lime production is estimated to reach 44,000 tonnes.
