A real production boom is expected in Spain for 2018-19. This is no surprise given the strong planting trend over recent years for this citrus, which has become highly profitable once again. The harvest should be around 1.3 million tonnes, a level nearly 30 % above the four-year average. Verna production will see an even more substantial increase than Primofiore. Producers can count on a constantly growing fresh lemon market (with consumption per capita having risen on average by 100 g per year for the past five years in Western Europe), and an industrial derivatives market maintaining a positive trend.
