The citrus industry commands much of the global fruit scenario. In terms of value, it is the most produced and traded fruit. It has been reported that citrus is produced in 140 countries worldwide, and production is increasing annually. In recent years, consumer preference for healthy and nutritious fruit has resulted in the increased demand for fresh and processed citrus.

Common diseases of citrus are citrus canker, tristeza, foot rot (phytophthora) and citrus greening.
