The 2022 Egyptian Citrus Annual Report by the United States Department of Agriculture forecasts a significant increase in Egyptian orange exports for the 2022/23 season, reaching 1.7 million tons from 1.3 million tons in the previous season.

Despite a dip in exports to some countries due to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the overall export volume is anticipated to rise by 30.7% as consumer demand and global prices increase.
