Smaller Mexican Orange Crop
WASHINGTON - Apr 30/06 - SNS -- Mexico's orange crop will be smaller than initially expected because of th impact of dry weather on yields, cautions the U.S. agricultural attache for the country.
This season's harvest is now expected to total 3.8 million MT, down 100,000 MT from initial forecast and well shy of last year's 4 million MT harvest and 3.901 million MT grown in 2003.
This decrease in production was primarily driven by dry weather conditions in the northern states during the first quarter of 2005 that impacted the flowering of trees, and was compounded by strong rainfalls caused by hurricanes during September and October.
The subsequent damage to the blooms led to lower-than-expected harvested volumes of Valencia oranges from December to early April 2006. It also led to a significant decline in second blooms. It is expected that the May 2006 crop will also be lower compared to the May 2005 crop.
