HANDICAPS FOR THE CITRUS FRUIT SECTOR: Fallen incomes of the producers We have lost 10 % of the citrus surface in the last two years Increase of costs. (Raw materials and laborals costs) Globalization of the markets Integration of the Large-scale retail distribution Extra charges induced by requirements community legislation In addition. FOR THE PGI VALENCIAN CITRUS FRUIT: The Large scale retail distribution wants good quality with low price. The decision to identify the final product belongs to the exporter: Citrus trademarks are named in the trade for years ago and the exporters want to different from the rest of the concurrence. The individualism and the absence of cohesion in the sector impedes the union that requires the project
