Mexico: Citrus Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   MX2022-0065

Total citrus production in Mexico across oranges, lemons/limes, and grapefruit is expected to decline in market year (MY) 2022/23 due to challenges such as damage to trees from increasingly severe weather conditions over multiple seasons, particularly in Northeastern producing states, and the rising costs of inputs and logistics for producers that is pressuring yields downward. Fresh concentrated orange juice production is also forecasted down over this period due to tighter supply in fresh oranges, but the country remains a major producer and exporter. Mexico’s total domestic consumption is down only one percent across fresh citrus, with rebounding demand in the country’s hospitality/tourism sector mostly offsetting decreased purchasing power of the average Mexican household. Export demand remains strong, with orange and grapefruit exports projected up marginally, but production declines in the outyear mean lower exportable supply in lemons/limes.
