during the war that one may speak of a citrus industry that underwent most of its
growth and development, all of which was started and owned by Jewish
Europeans, and employing Jewish labor only.
There are no complete figures on the citrus industry, but the ones available
are indicative of its growth. In 1943-1944, about 45,000 tons (approximately one
million boxes) were used in industry that employed about 1,500 persons.*’ In the
next season, 1944-1945, 25,000 tons of citrus were used in the production of
15,000 tons of jams (in 1939, only 920 tons of jam were produced), 12.5 tons of
essential oils, 1,356 tons of concentrated juices, 16 tons of chemicals (liquid
pectin), and 14 tons of citric acid.** At the same time, 950 tons of nonsterile
orange and grapefruit juice were exported to the United Kingdom only.”
Nonetheless, other figures available for citrus juice export definitely indicate an
increasing trend, so that while exports amounted to 200 tons in 1936, were 792
tons in 1942, 1,316 tons in 1943, and 1,071 tons in 1944.°

operation with eight more on order whose increased output, the Survey suggests,
could be exported to the United Kingdom where demand for sterilized juice was
expected to increase.
