Tridge summary

The USDA report forecasts a global decline in mandarin harvests for the 2022/2023 season, with a predicted decrease of 1.2 million tons in world production. This is due to a combination of adverse weather conditions, increased agricultural costs, and erratic weather in Peru leading to a 20,000-ton drop in its mandarin shipments.
