According to information from the Tunisian Ministry of Agriculture, the Maltaise harvest is set to be around 120 000 t in 2013-14, as opposed to approximately 135 000 t on average for the past five seasons. This fall of approximately 10 % is due to an abnormal level of physiological dropping in the region of Cap Bon, where production is primarily concentrated, and to a structural phenomenon of an ageing cultivation stock. It goes against Tunisia’s overall production trend, which should continue to rise to reach approximately 355 000 tonnes. In the space of ten years, the Tunisian citrus harvest increased by more than 100 000 t, thanks to a cultivation area growing by on average 700 ha per year during this period. Despite the fall in production, exports of Maltaise, which represent only a small proportion of the harvest, should be around 20 000 t.
