Citrus Data: Area and Output Breakdown
The report's five citrus lines (Satsuma and other mandarins, Washington and other oranges, lemon-lime) total 938,976 tonnes on 308,452 decares in 2024. Mandarins (509,620 tonnes) make up 54% of that total.
| Indicator | Value | Year | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mandarin (Satsuma) | 131,217 decares · 337,581 tonnes | 2024 | [1] |
| Orange (Washington) | 60,458 decares · 234,850 tonnes | 2024 | [1] |
| Lemon and lime | 36,954 decares · 128,713 tonnes | 2024 | [1] |
| Citrus total (five items in the report) | 308,452 decares · 938,976 tonnes | 2024 | [1] |
What does this data mean for an investor?
Satsuma alone is the largest line at 337,581 tonnes; as an early-season fruit it is the first link of fresh-consumption, juice and export chains (its seasonal role is general agricultural knowledge, not derived from the data). Lemon and lime give the highest output per decare at 3.48 tonnes, against 2.57 for Satsuma and 3.88 for Washington oranges.
What it means for an investor: about 940 thousand tonnes of citrus indicate a strong raw-material base in volume terms for processing, grading-packing and cold-chain plants. Because the crop is seasonal, how plant capacity will be used across the year (product diversification, storage) is the main feasibility question.
Limitation: The total includes only the five citrus lines given separately in the report; any citrus within “other fruit” (e.g. grapefruit) is not included. Data are for the 2024 production year; prices, exports and existing processing capacity are not in this source.
