Clementine season closes with 41.8 tons exported

The clementine export season in Chile ended in week 32 with a total of 41.832 tons (-39% year-on-year), according to data from the Chilean Citrus Committee.

 

According to the Committee's president, Juan Enrique Ortúzar, this year the Coquimbo region was deeply affected by drought, which resulted in a huge drop in clementine exports.
