Description
A more niche variety of the grapefruit botanical, Grapefruit Oil White C.P. is highly popular among Asian markets, with especially high consumption among Japanese consumers. The oil retains a similar aroma to its pink counterpart, having a fresh and citrusy top note alongside a distinctively bittersweet undertone. In flavor, white grapefruit oil is mainly used in soft drinks, particularly those that emphasize sour or citric notes. White grapefruit is also a great modifier of citrus-based perfumes, especially those containing ingredients such as bergamot, lemon, and neroli.

The USDA grapefruit forecast published on May 10 indicated a total harvest of 1.8 million boxes for the USA. Of this total, around 1.55 million boxes were allocated to red grapefruit, with the remaining 250,000 allocated for white. This represents a 10% decline from previous forecasts, and a year-over-year decline for grapefruit productivity in general. Mexico produces an additional 480,000 tons of grapefruit each year, though the vast majority of their production goes into the fresh market. Grapefruit production in both regions has suffered significantly from citrus greening, which is a disease that affects a wide range of citrus trees, though it spreads fastest in low-acidity citrus such as orange and grapefruit.
