Southern Europe's orange markets displayed varying pricing dynamics in spring 2025, with notable increases in Spain, Italy, and Portugal, while Greece saw more stable developments. The following analysis highlights price movements in April, May, and June across the four countries.
In Spain, orange prices continued their upward trend during the spring months of 2025, reaching €90/100 kg in April, €93 in May, and peaking at €110 in June. This surge places Spanish prices well above both the 5-year average and last season's figures, reflecting tight supply conditions and potentially strong demand during the late marketing season.
