The global limes and lemons production landscape is dominated by India, China, and Mexico. India leads with 3.75 million metric tons in 2023, evidencing robust growth, followed by China and Mexico. Countries like Colombia, Taiwan, and Morocco also showcased significant year-on-year production increases, indicating emerging trends. Conversely, countries like Cyprus, Cuba, and Puerto Rico experienced notable declines, signaling potential market shifts. Among key players, Argentina, Brazil, and Spain occupy critical positions in the supply chain, though Spain's production decrease might suggest vulnerability or market adjustments.
Future trends to monitor include potential production increases in developing regions due to favorable climatic conditions and investments in agricultural technology. Additionally, changing consumer preferences towards organic and sustainable products could influence production practices worldwide.
