Abstract
The aim of this paper was to analyse the feasibility of the organic Clementine crop in the Spanish autonomous region of Valencia. With this purpose, the production costs schemes comparing the two crop modalities extended in the region (citrus grown with flow irrigation, and citrus grown with drip irrigation systems), have been developed. The cultivar Clemenules was chosen in order to carry out the study. Considering the present market tendencies, organic Clementines should represent a higher value crop for producers, mainly for two reasons: on one hand, consumer preferences for easy-peelers; on the other hand, the possibility of obtaining price premiums for their harvests.Downloads
