The National Citrus Council of Turkey reported a 9 percent increase in export volumes in the 2019/2020 season, reaching 645,000 tonnes. However, the current season is threatened by a strong heat wave that hit Anatolia and south-eastern Europe around mid-May. The heat wave has negatively affected the flowering of citrus trees, particularly impacting the late oranges. Despite this, early volumes of lemon, grapefruit, and Minneola look good.
