Citrus Annual 2013 - China

Post estimates that China’s overall MY2013/14 citrus production will increase based on favorable growing conditions in major producing provinces; however, the presence of the deadly citrus greening disease may compromise China’s citrus production in the near future. Citrus exports are expected to grow on increased domestic supplies. Imports of US oranges are likely to decline following import suspension of Californian citrus to China due to plant disease concerns.
