호주 신선 오렌지 수출 시장 (12월, 2022)

The USDA's Australian Citrus Annual Report 2022 forecasts a slight decrease in citrus production for the 2022/23 season due to a three-year La Niña weather event, but expects a return to normal quality levels, which should boost exports. Labor shortages and high costs of chemicals, energy, and labor continue to pose challenges for growers. Despite lower production, orange exports are expected to increase, with China being the main export destination despite a significant drop in imports. Mandarin acreage is expanding, and it is expected to increase production and export volumes in the coming years.
