Tangerine/mandarin crops have been negatively impacted by citrus greening issues and severe weather with total MY 2016/17 production expected to decrease by 5 percent to 19.3 million MT.

Pomelo production in MY 2016/17 (October-September) is forecast down roughly eight percent to 4 million MT as cold weather and heavy rains earlier this year have resulted in a smaller crop.

Orange production at 6.2 million MT, down 10 percent from the previous year, due to continued citrus greening disease issues and unfavorable weather in Southern China.
