Growing of citrus fruits

NACE v2.1 Code: A01.23

About growing of citrus fruits

NACE code 01.23 covers the growing of citrus fruits, an important agricultural activity that plays a significant role in the global food supply chain. Citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruits, are widely consumed and have a wide range of applications, from fresh produce to processed juices, jams, and other food products. This industry is a crucial contributor to the agricultural sector, providing employment, generating revenue, and supporting the economies of many regions worldwide.

Production process

The production of citrus fruits involves a range of techniques, including orchard management, pest and disease control, irrigation, and harvesting. Growers carefully select and cultivate citrus tree varieties that are well-suited to the local climate and soil conditions. Proper pruning, fertilization, and irrigation practices are essential to ensure the health and productivity of the trees. Pest and disease management strategies, such as the use of integrated pest management (IPM) techniques, help to protect the crops from potential threats.

Production inputs

The growing of citrus fruits requires a variety of inputs, including land, water, and specialized agricultural equipment. Fertile soil, with the appropriate pH levels and nutrient composition, is crucial for the successful cultivation of citrus trees. Irrigation systems, such as drip or sprinkler systems, are often used to provide the necessary water supply. Additionally, growers may utilize specialized machinery for tasks like planting, spraying, and harvesting the citrus fruits.

Production outputs

The primary output of the citrus fruit growing industry is, of course, the citrus fruits themselves. These can be sold as fresh produce or used as inputs for a wide range of other industries, such as 10.32 Manufacture of fruit and vegetable juice, 10.39 Other processing and preserving of fruit and vegetables, and 46.31 Wholesale of fruit and vegetables. The citrus fruits may also be used in the production of essential oils, cosmetics, and other non-food products.
