Earlier Report Observations

Algeria's production of mandarins, clementines, tangelos, and citrus hybrids increased from 262.8 thousand tons in 2018 to 302.5 thousand tons in 2020. This expansion was supported by a long-established citrus sector spanning over 70 thousand hectares, backed by state efforts that sustained more than 250 000 jobs. The continued planting of clementine orchards in provinces such as Blida and El Tarf, with trees reaching full bearing capacity within four years, directly added productive area and boosted output.

Following a contraction to 290.4 thousand tons in 2021, production recovered to 297.5 thousand tons in 2022 and rose further to 317.4 thousand tons in 2023. The total market volume reached 321.1 thousand tons in 2023, marked by the first significant imports of 3.8 thousand tons. During these years, Algerian growers navigated challenges from rising global mandarin acreage and shifting consumer demand, which influenced market dynamics and quality expectations.
