Morocco: Citrus semi-annual report

Citrus production in Morocco is estimated to increase 8 percent compared to last year. The total estimated for 2009/2010 is 1.4 million MT.

Exports in 2009/2010 totalled 476,529 MT, coming in 10% less than the target set by the Moroccan government, and one percent less than the previous year. The main European export destinations are the Netherlands, UK and France.

Total exports to Europe rose by 10%, while exports to Russia declined for the second year, to 192,600 MT compared to 285,000 MT in 2007/08. An agreement on phytosanitary requirements was signed in May between Morocco and China that would allow Moroccan citrus exports entry into the Chinese market.
