Citrus Market Access Workshop: Trends and Challenges in Australian Citrus Production

The Citrus Market Access Workshop held in Mildura on 19 October 2010 highlighted notable trends and challenges in Australian citrus production. Over the past decade, national citrus production has shown a general decline, especially in Valencia oranges, with a shift towards navel oranges and mandarins. Key market access points were discussed, including a focus on Asian markets like Korea, Thailand, China, and Japan. The workshop emphasized the need for effective pest management, especially concerning Fuller’s rose weevil, and shared strategies to improve export quality by focusing on fruit size and orchard management.
