São Paulo, Brazil's leading fruit producer, cultivated 14.5 million tons of fruit in 2023, primarily oranges, lemons, bananas, avocados, and persimmons.

Factors such as climate variations and production costs play a significant role in productivity. The state's fruit production, particularly the citrus sector, contributes over US$2 billion annually to foreign trade. The state government is addressing Greening, a pest affecting citrus crops. São Paulo will also host Fruit Attraction 2024, a significant global event in the fruit sector.
