The USDA forecasts an increase in global orange and mandarin production for the 2023/24 season, largely due to favourable weather conditions in Turkey. Orange production is expected to rise slightly to 48.8 million tonnes, despite lower production in Brazil and the EU, thanks to larger crops in Argentina, the US, and Turkey. Mandarin production is set to increase by three per cent to 38 million tonnes, primarily due to favourable weather in China and Turkey. The report also anticipates increased global production of grapefruit, lemon, and lime yields in 2023/24.

EU production is also expected to decline with the USDA projecting volumes of 5.5 m tonnes due to dry and unusually warm summer conditions. In contrast, US production is forecast up by 280,000 tonnes to 2.5m tonnes rebounding from losses due to Hurricane Ian the year ...
