The Lajeado region in Brazil is nearing the end of its citrus harvest, with only late varieties and some municipalities still in the process. Favorable climatic conditions and mild temperatures have aided in extending the harvest period and reducing disease risk. However, a decrease in October rainfall and lack of early November rainfall have led to concerns about future crops. The region is implementing control measures for fruit flies and preventing black spot in oranges and bergamots. Prices for bergamot and Tahiti acid lime remain high due to low supply. There are fears of Greening disease, a severe citrus disease that has not been detected in Rio Grande do Sul but could potentially enter through citrus seedlings, ornamental Myrtle, or infected citrus plants or Psyllid. Efforts are being made to prevent its introduction.
