Mexico increases citrus exports to US, Europe and Asia
In a press conference, the leader informed that they exported around 650 tons of lemon, from which 68% were sent to the United States, while the rest was divided between Europe, Asia and the industrial market.
He stated that, presently, the lime box is quoted at US$26, a lower price than in the last year when it passed the US$50, but even so, he added, a stable price.
"Even if this will not be a year like 2011, an historical year for us, this will be a stable year. Our exports grew 18%, benefiting more than 38,000 producers", he pointed out.
