According to the Technical Services of Asaja-Seville, orange production in the province of Seville for the 2014-2015 citrus season will decrease by 25 percent over the last season because the high temperatures in the moths of April and May harmed the orange' flowering, which especially affected the later varieties.
Asaja-Sevilla forecast that the production of the Navel variety would decrease by 20%, the Salustiana variety would decrease around 15 percent, the powell navel variety would drop between 30 and 35 percent, and the late varieties, including the Valencia variety, would fall between 40 and 50 percent.
Despite the data, Seville remains the first producing province of Andalusia, with 34.37 percent of the total citrus harvest and some 24,000 acres of orange, followed by Huelva.
