Lebanon's location makes it a top producer in Lemons and Oranges, yet the price of the former now is almost x5 what it was last year.

The answer is in the amount producers exported, and not taking into account local consumption.

2019: 1,790 T

2020: 3,684 T in just 5 months https://t.co/53l0aqtRZ6

Just in the first 5 months of 2020, we exported more Lemons that we did in 2018 and 2019 combined.

This led to a huge gap in the market, where there is huge demand but no one selling any.
