In São Paulo and the Triângulo Mineiro, the 2025/2026 orange season is showing positive development, as reported by Cepea. The citrus sector, previously challenged by drought and heat, has seen improvement due to recent rainfall, enhancing orchard growth. Market observers note that while weather conditions have generally been beneficial, variations in fruit development stages across different areas could influence overall yield.
However, the future of orange production remains uncertain, hinging on consistent, well-distributed rainfall in early 2025. Insufficient precipitation during this critical period may affect the harvest quality, crucial for juice production, and lower expectations among citrus farmers. With the industry remaining cautious, growers are closely watching weather patterns and orchard conditions, hopeful for a strong recovery from the previous season's adversities.
