The demand for lemons and limes in Turkey is forecasted to increase steadily from 572.16 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 628.4 thousand metric tons in 2028. This represents year-on-year growth percentages of approximately 2.5% from 2024 to 2025, 2.4% from 2025 to 2026, 2.3% from 2026 to 2027, and 2.2% from 2027 to 2028. Considering the starting point from the actual value of 572.16 thousand metric tons in 2023, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is estimated to be around 2.35%.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential impacts of climate change on citrus production in Turkey, which could affect both supply and pricing.
Shifts in consumer preferences towards natural and health-related foods, possibly increasing lemons and limes consumption.
Trade policies and agreements that could affect import/export dynamics, and subsequently, the domestic market.
