Besides being the second-largest producer of oranges, the most populated country in the world, China, ranks as first by the citrus consumption. FAS predicts that in 2015/16 more than 4 million metric tons of fresh oranges will be eaten in China, which is almost 75 percent of all consumed citrus in the world. It is expected that the crop’s yield will reach 7 million metric tons in the current season despite major losses in Jiangxi province due to citrus greening disease which has also caused a significant drop in fruit’s export.
