Earlier Report Observations

The market for lemons and limes in Albania showed considerable growth from 2018 to 2023, with total volume increasing from 7 736 t to 10 286 t. This upward trend was interrupted by a significant contraction in 2022, but the market demonstrated strong resilience by rebounding to a new high the following year.

After steady growth through 2020, the market volume experienced a slight decline in 2021. The most pronounced shift occurred in 2022, when the market shrank by over a third to 6 113 t. This sharp drop was followed by a rapid recovery in 2023, with volume surging by more than 68% to exceed 10 000 t for the first time in the period.

Domestic production of lemons and limes rose consistently throughout, from 3 768 t to 6 039 t. Import volumes, however, were highly variable, falling dramatically in 2022 before recovering, which was the primary contributor to the overall market volatility observed between 2021 and 2023.
