The 2016-17 campaign set new records across the board for Corsican producers. Volumes to market and the average campaign price reached historically high levels. This performance, achieved in a highly competitive context of abundant Spanish production, shows success of the island’s producers’ positioning policy for this iconic clementine. Production will be much more restrained in 2017-18 (25 000 t expected, i.e. down 20 % from 2016-17), because of the alternate bearing effect and a cold spell in the spring. The season is set to be early (first volumes arriving from 15-20 October). The market context could be better than 2016/17 in particular due to the forecasted Spanish deficit ( see Spanish Forecast)
