# Executive Summary

In Marketing Year (October-September) (MY) 2006, the forecast for total
citrus production is 641,000 MT, an increase of 13 percent compared to
the previous year. Of the total production, it is expected that
approximately 158,000 MT will be exported (12 percent increase compared
to the previous year), 306,000 MT will be processed (a 15 percent
increase), and the remainder will be consumed fresh. The increase in
exports is due to an increase in local citrus production.

In MY 2005, citrus exports and deliveries to the processing industry
decreased by 20 and 9 percent, respectively, compared to the previous
year. The decrease in exports and deliveries to the processing industry
was due to a decrease in local production and a shortage in manpower for
picking fruit from trees.

In MY 2005, exports of the sweetie variety to Japan decreased by 35
percent compared to the previous year (from 10,190 tons to 6,580 tons).
Due to a shortage of grapefruit from Florida, white grapefruit was
exported to Japan (2,644 tons) for the second consecutive year. In the
future, the sweetie exports to Japan are expected to reach 4,000-5,000
tons per year.

# Production 

In MY 2005, production totaled 566,000 MT, an 11 percent decrease
compared to the previous marketing year. The decreased harvest was a
result of the "fluctuations phenomenon", an exceptional low/high yield
that occurs once in 2-3 years. In addition, according to official
sources, the decrease in exports and deliveries to the processing
industry was due to a manpower shortage. Throughout the marketing year,
there was a shortage of available workers. The yields for oranges, easy
peelers and grapefruit decreased by 16.5, 16.3 and 2 percent,
respectively, compared to the previous year.

In recent years, the share of easy peelers has increased significantly,
and it is expected to further expand in the near future. The forecast
for MY 2006 is for a total production of 641,000 MT, an increase of 13
percent compared to the previous year.

#### Planted Area

In MY 2005, planted area totaled 18,800 ha, of which 17,362 ha (92
percent) were fruit-bearing. Increasing demand for citrus in Europe and
high profitability have stimulated new demand for citrus seedlings. In
2006, 820 ha of fresh citrus were planted. The forecast for CY 2007 is
for an additional increase of 1,155 ha, mainly easy peelers and
grapefruit. Due to the increasing demand for citrus seedlings, a
shortage of seedlings is expected until 2008.

R&D

Main R&D efforts are focused on expanding the harvest season to supply
late maturing easy peeler varieties, and create sweeter grapefruit
varieties with new colors. In CY 2006, the citrus R&D budget was
estimated at \$465,000, a 6 percent increase compared to the previous
year.

**Revenue of the Citrus Growers**

As mentioned above, citrus production decreased in MY 2005, however,
revenues were the same as in the previous year. This is due to the
perceived high quality of Israeli citrus products, high revenues for the
grapefruits and easy peelers varieties, and restricted supplies in the
international market. In MY 2005, revenues totaled \$150 million. (see
table 6).

# Local Fresh Consumption

#  

In MY 2005, local consumption of fresh citrus totaled approximately 160
tmt, a 6 percent decrease compared to the previous marketing year. The
slight decrease in consumption was a result of the harvest decrease. In
MY 2005, total local consumption (per capita) of fresh citrus was 23.5
kg. According to the Household Expenditure Survey from 2004, the monthly
average expenditure for fresh citrus totaled \$2.93 per household.

# The Processing Industry

Due to decreased yields in MY 2005, citrus deliveries to processors
decreased by

9 percent compared to the previous year (from 290 tmt to 265 tmt). The
full capacity of the facilities stands at 350,000 MT. The main citrus
variety for industry is grapefruit. In MY 2005, the local industry paid
higher prices compared to the previous year, mainly for white
grapefruit. In MY 2005, the Israeli industry paid an average price of
\$150 per ton for all citrus kinds.

The forecast for MY 2006 is for 305,500 MT, a 15 percent increase
compared to the previous year. The expected increase is a result of an
increase in total local citrus production.

The annual local consumption of fresh juices per capita stands at 2.5
liter and is expected to continue to grow 20 percent annually in the
next few years. The increase in recent years is a result of a decrease
in consumption of carbonated soft drinks.

## Trade

The forecast for MY 2006 is for an increase of 8-12 percent compared to
the previous year.

The expected increase in exports is due to an increase in local citrus
production.

Citrus exports from Israel decreased 20.5 percent during MY 2005
compared to previous year levels (from 177,765 tons to 141,237 tons).
The decrease was due to a decrease in local citrus production, combined
with manpower shortage. During the picking period there was a shortage
of available workers. White grapefruit and sweetie exports decreased by
25 and 16 percent, respectively. The decrease was due to the high prices
paid by the processing industry and decrease in local harvest.

In MY 2005, exports of the sweetie variety to Japan decreased by 35
percent compared to the previous year (from 10,190 tons to 6,580 tons).
Of total sweetie exports in MY 2005,

53 percent were delivered to Japan and the remainder was exported to the
EU and Russia.

Due to the continued shortage of grapefruit from Florida, it was the
second consecutive year that there was an export of white grapefruit to
Japan (2,300 tons). The sweetie exports to Japan in the forthcoming
years are expected to stand at 4,000-5,000 tons per year.

Of the total citrus exports, 68 percent were exported to Western Europe,
mainly England, but demand in Eastern Europe, especially in Russia, is
increasing, and approximately 19 percent of the total citrus exports
were exported to Russia (exports to Russia are mainly easy peelers and
red grapefruit). Italy captures 9 percent of the total citrus exports,
mostly red and white grapefruit varieties. Japan capture 6 percent of
the total citrus exports and the market share for the U.S. and South
Africa is approximately 5 percent. Currently in Israel there are 28
citrus exporters. In MY 2005, about half of total citrus exports were
the grapefruit varieties. This is the third consecutive year that easy
peeler exports have exceeded orange exports. In MY 2005, pomelo exports
totaled 5,394 tons, of which 59 percent was red pomelo.
