The lemon harvest estimate made by AILIMPO (Asociación Interprofesional de Limón y Pomelo) for the 2023/24 campaign predicts a production in Spain of 1,365,000 tonnes, a figure similar to the one reached in the 2020/21 campaign, which means a global increase of 34% in comparison to the 2022/23 campaign (which had the lowest harvest of the past 10 years) and that closed with a final production of 1,018,407 tonnes in accordance with the interim balance that includes fruit exported, processed and marketed on the Spanish home market, as well as the losses in weight.
