Tridge summary
The orange harvest in Brazil's citrus belt for the 2023/24 season is projected to decrease by 1.5% from the previous season, totaling 309.34 million cartons. This decrease is due to factors such as above average rainfall, the negative biennial cycle, lower flowering of late varieties, and increased citrus greening. Despite these challenges, high moisture content could lead to heavier fruit, potentially the largest since the 2017/18 season. The average productivity is expected to slightly increase by 0.6% from the previous season, reaching 918 cartons per hectare.

The orange harvest in the citrus belt of southeastern Brazil (São Paulo and the Triângulo Mineiro) in the 2023/24 season is estimated at 309.34 million cartons of 40.8 kg each. This volume is 1.5% lower than last season's harvest. The main reasons for the lower harvest are rainfall above the historical average (although they have promoted both tree vigor and fruit growth, the rains have increased rotting of the flowers), the negative biennial cycle (except in northern SP, where productivity was lower last season), the lower flowering of some late varieties (for which harvest was delayed and/or production was high in 2022/23) and the higher incidence of citrus greening, which is expected to lead to more fruits will fall. On the other hand, the high moisture content could ...
