China Lime Market Analysis
The Chinese lime market is projected to record a CAGR of 1.93% during the forecast period.
- China's main lime fruit-producing provinces are Sichuan and Yunnan. The largest lime fruit growing region is Anyue county in Sichuan, followed by Dehoong in Yunnan and Tongnan in Chongqing. The main varieties currently grown in China are Eureka lemons, Xiangshui lemons, Taiwan limes, and Beijing lemons. The demand for lime/lemon at home and abroad has been increasing, which leads to a continued increase in the planting area of citrus. According to FAOSTAT data, the planting area of lime in China was 121.3 thousand hectares in 2021, up from 13.0% in 2018.
- The overall lime production is expected to increase as Chinese producers are being benefited from favorable weather, the diminished impact of citrus greening, and increased yields in younger orchards, especially in western China. The rise in lime/lemon production offers plentiful raw materials for the lime processing industry and has extensively promoted the development of the lime/lemon processing industry. With the rapid social and economic development and the continued improvement of people's living standards, there have been significant changes in the Chinese lime fruit market.
