Lime and clementine are carrying the citrus family. On figures dated 4 November 2026, nine of the eleven indexed citrus materials are higher than three months ago, and the family's mean move is +7.2% over three months and +3.5% over one year. Only yellow lemon and bitter orange (bigarade) are down. Bergamot, the twelfth material, has no public index.
Clementine is the top riser at +28.2% over three months and +13.2% on the year. A Spanish market report on 16 October described a cautious start to the mandarin, clementine and orange season, with limited buying in the field and by large retailers, while the Southern Hemisphere season was ending with below-normal volumes.
Lime gained 21.4% in three months and 73.8% over a year, by far the widest annual swing among citrus. News on 22 October described the European lime market as short, with prices at historically high levels and Brazilian exports to Europe declining. European arrivals had already been reported far below usual levels on 21 September.
Every grapefruit and pomelo line rose over three months: red grapefruit +10.9%, pomelo +7.4%, pink grapefruit +6.8% and white grapefruit +5.1%. Over a year, only red grapefruit is positive, at +3.1%. A Spanish campaign update on 29 October reported Turkish fruit reaching Europe with a larger harvest and low prices, putting pressure on lemon and grapefruit prices.
Yellow lemon fell 5.0% over three months and 10.7% over a year. On 8 October, lemon prices were reported under pressure at large German wholesale markets, with rising volumes from Spain, Italy and Turkey. Bitter orange slipped 2.9%. Orange added 5.1%, while mandarin (+0.6%) and tangerine (+1.3%) barely moved.
For bergamot, a note dated 18 August reported drought threatening a large share of Italian output.
