Brazil Leads Global Orange Production with 10.1 Million Tons

Abstract

In 2021, Brazil led global orange production with 10.1 million tons, reflecting its historic dominance in the market. Over the past decades, Brazil consistently topped production charts due to favorable climate conditions and advanced agricultural practices. The country’s export trends show steady growth, driven by strong international demand. Conversely, other major producers like the U.S., Spain, and India have fluctuated in output due to varying climatic conditions and market dynamics. Brazil’s position underscores its crucial role in the global orange supply chain.

Orange exports (worldwide)

Since 1961, Brazil has been a dominant player in global orange production. The peak was reached in 1993 with 14.7 million tons, but current production is at 68.9% of this peak. This decline is attributed to factors such as disease outbreaks and fluctuating climate conditions. Despite this, Brazil remains a major exporter due to its established infrastructure and expertise. Other significant producers, like the U.S. and Spain, have seen varied trends influenced by regional factors and market demands, but Brazil’s substantial share highlights its ongoing influence in the global orange market.
