A normal season has started for Meyer lemons, with fine skin and a good juice content and the Interdonato variety, with thick and shiny skin.
The cut will therefore be authorized from the 15th of September and exported from the 21st of September 2017.
Compared with last season, it is 20 days late for Lemon Meyer but 2 days early for Lemon Interdonato.
According to early estimates, the Meyer lemon crop will be similar to the previous season but a sharp reduction in the Interdonato lemon crop is expected due to very poor weather conditions in December and February in the production area in Adana, in the south-east of Turkey.
As the Southern Hemisphere season ended earlier than expected, prices should be good for producers and exporters.
