In the 2022/23 season, global orange production saw a decrease of 5% compared to the previous year, attributed to reduced harvests in the European Union, Brazil, and the USA. The EU witnessed a 13% drop in production due to harsh climatic conditions in Spain and Italy. This shortfall has resulted in a surge in orange prices in the market, with the situation being particularly severe in Italy, where orange harvests fell by 25%. Import levels have risen significantly, while exports have declined, and domestic purchase data shows a 5.8% drop but a 8% rise in average selling prices, leading to a 1.8% increase in total spending. The upcoming season is expected to bring about further challenges with continued supply constraints and higher prices.
