In 2009/10, total citrus production is forecast at about 627,000 tons, a 10 percent increase compared to the previous year. Out of the total production, approximately 183,000 tons (29 percent) is expected to be exported, 260,000 processed (42 percent), and the remainder consumed fresh. The expected increase is mainly due to increased yields of Or variety (easy peeler) and red grapefruit.
