China: Rain leads to drop in Yichang orange production

This year's Yichang orange production has been affected by many different factors, leading to a drop in production. Compared to last year, the price has increased significantly. Long periods of rain have led to oranges falling, but this is not the main reason for the drop in production. Orange trees have a large and small physiological cycle. Last year's harvest was big, so this year's will be small. Next year's harvest will then be big again. Furthermore, many production areas have changed orange trees, which means that these trees will not bear fruit this year. This has also affected the fruit bearing rate.
