The forecast indicates a steady increase in the import of mandarins, clementines, and citrus hybrids to India, growing from $2.4147 million in 2024 to $2.8525 million in 2028. Compared to 2023's actual value, which is not explicitly mentioned, the year-on-year growth percentages between 2024 and 2028 demonstrate a consistent upward trend, indicative of a stable demand. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over five years further supports this positive trajectory, albeit with moderate growth.
Future trends to watch for include potential influences such as changes in trade policies, fluctuations in domestic production impacting imports, consumer preferences for citrus fruits, and overall economic conditions that could affect purchasing power and demand.
