The decision was made by the US sanitary authorities in late January, following the detection of a Mediterranean fly larva in a batch of clementines from Berkane. The cold treatment insect control protocol in force since 1991 seems to have been scrupulously followed. Both parties are considering implementing additional measures in order to lift the sanction. This decision came against a backdrop of steep growth by Moroccan citrus exports to this market since the beginning of the decade. They reached approximately 50 000 t in 2014-15, primarily comprising seasonal clementines and late varieties such as Nour and Nadorcott. This situation is not without echoes of the measure taken against Spanish citruses for the same reason in late 2001, in the same context of steeply rising volumes. Have Californian producers overreacted again?
