摘要：

Citrus production in Australia is experiencing a major turnaround as a result of drought-breaking rains in 2020 throughout much of the citrus producing regions. The improved rainfall in 2020 will have a significant positive impact on forecast production in 2021 (marketing year 2020/21) with orange production at 535,000 metric tons (MT), and tangerine/mandarin production at 175,000 MT, both around a 10 percent increase over the drought-impacted marketing year (MY) 2019/20. Orange exports are forecast at 195,000 MT, a three percent increase over the strong campaign in MY 2019/20, and tangerine/mandarin exports are set to rebound by 29 percent to 80,000 MT. The citrus industry is concerned by an expected further reduction of labor available for harvest in 2021, an impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the federal and state governments are working with the industry to try and mitigate this impact.
