Chart: Production of Citrus and Value of Exports (1998-2020)

This chart provides an overview of citrus production in Syria between 1998 and 2020. Largely spared by the conflict due to its location in the country’s coastal areas, citrus production reached record levels in the past ten years. Although production stood at 1,164,000 tonnes in 2010, prior to the conflict, it plummeted to a two-decade low in 2020.
