Study Overview
Citrus fruits come from the Citrus family, which includes bergamot, lemon, lime, chinotto, mandarin, orange, grapefruit and clementine. Citrus fruits are a source of vitamins, minerals and fiber, all important for a varied, balanced diet. This is an important market in terms of size within the fruit market itself, as it includes some very popular fruits. In France, most production is concentrated in the PACA and Corsica regions, which are prolific producers of clementines and lemons. Worldwide, citrus fruits are produced in over 140 countries, with China, Brazil and India leading the way. France is not a major citrus producer and imports a large part of its consumption, notably from Spain. After a drop in French production in 2019 due to weather conditions and insect-borne diseases, production growth resumed but slowed in 2022, as in many countries in the European Union and worldwide, due to higher input costs and weather conditions.
