Argentina's Federation of Citrus Producers has released a report revealing a decrease in the country's citrus exports in 2023, with a drop from 360,000 tons in 2022 to 282,000 tons. This decline is part of a longer-term downward trend, largely due to low profitability, increasing costs, dollar inflation, and a tough international market. Despite the export drop, lemon and orange production reached record highs at 2.32 million tons and 1.06 million tons respectively, making Argentina the world's leading producer of lemons with a 21% share. The European Union and Russia were the main destinations for Argentina's lemon exports.
