In spite of everything: a good year for lemons

摘要

Argentina is the main export country for lemons," says Ernesto Caram, the export director of Citrusvil SA from Ban-da del Río Salí in the province of Tucumán. "Worldwide, we are the biggest producers of products for processing, and in the SouthernHemisphere we are the biggest lemon producer. 95% of the lemon harvest occurs in the province of Tucumán. To talk about lemons is to talk about our province. This is also where the prices for these fruits are made because we're the No. 1. Our position gets stronger as production in Spain drops. Spain is on the market all year round, the exporter says.
