In 2020, the global production of lemons saw a significant increase, with a 13% rise compared to the average production from 2010 to 2018, totaling 6.4 million tons. This growth is primarily due to the European Union (EU), which became the leading producer of lemons worldwide, accounting for 28% of the total production with 1.8 million tons. This places the EU ahead of Argentina, the United States, and Turkey.
