Abstract
Lemon and lime production in global agriculture is drawing attention with India as the largest producer. In 2022, India’s production reached 3.78 Mt. Past trends show that areas with more geographical and climatic conditions have emerged as major producers. Also, high demand also influences production, as lemons and limes are widely used in a variety of dishes and beverages. In addition, advances in agricultural technology and the increasing importance of sustainable agriculture are influencing changes in production volume and production areas. Overall, in lemon and lime production, sustainable production and the adoption of efficient agricultural techniques are gaining importance to meet global demand, especially in India.
Lemon and lime production (worldwide)
Looking at data on lemon and lime production, China recorded an astounding production of 4.15 Mt in 2008. However, in the following years, China’s production has declined and is currently at 63.3% of its peak. This trend can be attributed to a variety of factors, including changes in China’s agricultural structure and the impact of climatic conditions. Meanwhile, production in other countries is on the rise. Especially in emerging countries such as India, production is increasing due to improvements in agricultural techniques and an expanding production base. In addition, the growing demand for lemons and limes worldwide is also contributing to the increase in production. These characteristics suggest that the world’s lemon and lime production is changing from its peak in China due to a shift in production to other countries and an increase in demand.
The maximum is the latest one, 14.3Mt of China
Lemon and lime production by country (latest year)
In 2022, India was the largest producer of lemons and limes in global agriculture, with production reaching 3.78 Mt. These fruits are grown in many countries, with a total global production reaching 21.5 Mt. The average production is 166 kt, which is a significant amount compared to general agricultural products. Past trends show that differences in climatic conditions and soils in different regions affect the production volume of each country. For example, lemons and limes, which prefer warm climates, are mainly grown in subtropical and tropical regions. In addition, these fruits are used for a wide range of purposes, including cooking, beverages, and even product flavoring, and the stability of demand also affects the production volume. In addition, the development of agricultural technology and the importance of sustainable agriculture are increasing, and these factors contribute to changes in production volume and production area. Overall, in lemon and lime production, the adoption of sustainable production and efficient agricultural techniques is important to meet global demand, especially in India.
The maximum is 14.3Mt of China, the average is 264kt, and the total is 28.6Mt
Lemon and lime production (continent)
Asia was the largest producer of lemons and limes in global agriculture in 2022, reaching 9.15 Mt, breaking the previous record. This achievement reflects the development and technological innovation of agriculture in the Asian region. Advances in agricultural technology and sustainable agriculture efforts over the past few decades have contributed to increased production. In addition, efforts are being made to help farmers take appropriate measures and improve productivity, despite climate change and increased disaster risks. Meanwhile, diversification of production areas and varieties is also progressing to meet increasing demand and changing markets. In particular, interest in citrus fruits such as lemons and limes is growing due to consumers’ health consciousness and changing food culture. Overall, lemon and lime production in 2022 shows the achievements of agriculture in the Asian region and the results of sustainable agriculture efforts.
The maximum is the latest one, 21.9Mt of Asia
Lemon and lime production (latest year, continental)
Asia had the highest lemon and lime production in global agriculture in 2022, at 9.15 Mt. This figure is the highest ever, showing the achievements of agriculture in the Asian region. Meanwhile, the average production was 3.59 Mt, which shows the midpoint of the total global production. This figure suggests that lemons and limes are grown in many regions, with each region contributing to production. In addition, the total global production reached 21.5 Mt, which shows that the supply is sufficient for the global demand for lemons and limes. A characteristic so far is that production varies in each region due to differences in climate and soil conditions. There is also a trend of increasing demand for lemons and limes due to changes in global food culture and increasing health consciousness. Due to these factors, the production of lemons and limes in the world is rich in diversity, and the production area and production volume are adjusted according to demand.
The maximum is 21.9Mt of Asia, the average is 4.76Mt, and the total is 28.6Mt
