The Argentinean lemon campaign is set for a shortfall. According to the initial information, the 2021 harvest should register a downturn of around 25 to 30 %, because of unfavourable weather conditions (cold during blooming, followed by a dry period). Hence the harvest, after totalling 1.4 million tonnes in 2020, could be down to 1.02 million tonnes in 2021. Nonetheless, since the overall quality is set to be better than last year, the proportion aimed at the fresh export sector should maintain a good level. Regarding the situation in the EU-27, which remains the leading Argentinean export market (119 000 t and 124 000 t in the past two seasons), negotiations are in progress with the European authorities to determine whether exports, suspended in July 2020, can resume. For now, no official decision has been communicated.
