Brazil to grow citrus exports to GCC

In line with growing citrus and agricultural exports from Brazil, import-export company BrazArtis said it is expanding exports of frozen concentrated orange juice (FCOJ), cold pressed orange oil (CPOO) and D’lemonene (citrus terpene) to the Gulf Region.

This is in line with increasing demand for Brazilian orange juice in the region. Consumption of orange juice in the Middle East has increased by 51.1%, from 20,000 in 2003 to 30,000 tonnes in 2010. In Saudi Arabia alone, the consumption of orange juice has increased by 75.9% from 15,000 to 26,000 tonnes during the same period.
