Ideal weather conditions put Uruguay back on track: The country's leading citrus exporters have welcomed a return to normal volumes this season, as they continue to focus on high- and long-yielding varieties

摘要

THE Uruguayan citrus industry is anticipating a return to normal production levels this year following a relatively typical spring that saw average rainfall and temperatures for the time of year, and a very wet summer which has allowed fruit to size up nicely. Exports are already on the water to Europe, while the nation is confident recent trade access talks between Uruguay and the US have gathered fresh momentum, prompting suppliers to invest in new varieties.
