   China??s MY 2008 citrus production is forecast at 21 MMT, up 10 percent from the revised MY 2007 figure, the result of favorable weather conditions throughout the major citrus producing areas during the crop development period. Orange production is forecast at six MMT in MY 2008, up 10 percent from the previous year, as new plantings from a few years earlier have gradually reached full production. Production costs continue to rise in the wake of increased prices for inputs such as fertilizer, pesticides, electricity, fuel, water, and labor.
