In 2023, the yield for limes and lemons in the US was set at approximately 409.85 thousand hectograms per hectare. The forecast for 2024 shows a consistent annual increase, with the yield reaching an anticipated 425.52 thousand hectograms per hectare by 2028. The year-on-year growth from 2024 to 2028 averages around 0.9%, indicating a stable but moderate increase. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period suggests a positive trend for the industry.
Future trends to watch for include the impacts of climate change on citrus production, potential changes in trade policies, and the adoption of new agricultural technologies that could further improve yield efficiency. Monitoring these factors will be essential for stakeholders in the citrus industry.
