Abstract

Introduction. This paper aims to analyze the behavior of Persian lemon, also known as Tahiti lemon (Citrus latifolia Tanaka),exports to the United States market, which stands out as the main market worldwide, during 2011-2015. Materials and methods. Multiple databases were used, as well as the compilation of reports applicable to the citrus chain obtained from secondary sources for the three countries analyzed and interviews with experts from Mexico, Guatemala and Colombia. Exports reports were also generated by the subheading 08.05.50 for lemons (citrus limon, citrus limonum) and limes (citrus aurantifolia, citrus latifolia). Then, the results were filtered for Persian lemon “citrus latifolia tanaka”. Results. Persian lemon (Tahiti) is the most popular variety among US consumers, and Mexico is the main supplier with a 98% share of the country’s imports and where countries like Guatemala and Colombia have possibilities to get a higher market share, despite their marginal participation, achieving in all cases a price between four and six times the rural average one in the US market.
