EU27 Citrus Semi-annual Report 2013
Report Highlights:
Overall citrus production is expected to decline in the EU 27 year-to-year, however the production decline will be smaller than anticipated in the Annual Report. Only grapefruit output is expected to be above last year’s figures. Good yields in Greece’s citrus crop were not enough to offset the production decline that took place in Italy and Spain. However, quality and caliber is reportedly good in main producing member states, which has had a positive impact in the fresh production channel and producer prices.
