Clementines Price Trend and Forecast 2026-2027

Clementines prices in the United States, the highest-cost reporting region, rose 3.5% in Q3 2026 to USD 2,950/MT from USD 2,850/MT in Q2, as limited off-season supply and a smaller Spanish crop outlook lifted offers, with Spain's first 2026/27 citrus forecast at 5.74 million tonnes, 4.2 percent below the five-year average, after high summer temperatures caused fruit drop. Germany prices rose 6.3% to USD 2,550/MT, while South Africa prices rose 8.0% to USD 1,350/MT. Globally, the average rose from USD 2,120/MT in Q2 to USD 2,234/MT in Q3, a 5.4% gain, following a decline of 3.5% in Q2. For H2 2026, this market is expected to stay firm, with the new Spanish season starting in October and the small citrus crop forecast at 1.8 million tonnes, 4.5 percent below average.

Clementines are a small, seedless, easy-peeling mandarin hybrid of Citrus clementina, grown mainly in Spain, Morocco, Italy, Turkey, and South Africa and sold fresh from October to February in the northern hemisphere. They are sold fresh through retail and foodservice, and used in juices, desserts, and canned segments. Because supply depends on weather and variety mix, this market follows Spanish, Moroccan, and southern hemisphere crops, quality and size, and demand from Europe and North America. Crop size and weather, variety mix, and retail demand across Europe and North America are what drive prices in this market.

Clementines Price Forecast for 2026

The outlook for Clementines through the end of 2026 stays firm. The Spanish harvest begins in the fourth quarter with a smaller crop than average after summer fruit drop, and last season opened at EUR 0.50 per kilogram at origin, up 22 percent, so early prices are likely to stay high. Buyers are expected to keep procurement plans flexible, tracking feedstock and freight conditions closely through the fourth quarter.

The main upside risk is further crop losses from heat or hail. The main downside risk is strong supply from Morocco, Turkey, and Egypt and slower retail demand at high prices. Contract negotiations for the coming months are likely to hinge on how feedstock costs and demand evolve. Buyers are expected to keep procurement plans flexible, tracking feedstock and freight conditions closely through the fourth quarter.
