Outlook 2025: key updates on the orange crop

The citrus industry is preparing for a new season marked by both expectations and uncertainties. After a period of limited supply, the latest crop estimate brings cautious optimism and reinforces the importance of planning and innovation across the entire chain.

The most recent Fundecitrus report outlines production forecasts and field conditions for the upcoming harvest, helping guide decisions and prepare for the months ahead.

Crop estimate and outlook

According to the orange crop forecast and the tree inventory for the São Paulo and West-Southwest Minas Gerais citrus belt, announced by Fundecitrus, the 25/26 orange crop is projected at 314.60 million boxes of 40.8 kg (90 lbs) each. This figure reflects an increase compared to the previous cycle and signals a potential recovery in output after a particularly tight season.

Even with the expected growth, climate variability and disease pressures like greening remain important concerns. Industry-wide efforts focused on consistent field management and adaptive practices are key to keeping production stable.

Field strategies that support consistency

To navigate ongoing challenges, growers are adopting integrated approaches that promote healthier orchards. Practices such as biological control, soil enrichment, and biodiversity-friendly farming have shown promising results.

These measures contribute to resilience and also to more efficient and sustainable production in the long term.
