Lemon growing in the Mediterranean region of Türkiye faces various challenges that pose significant difficulties for growers. Türkiye’s diverse climate and geographical conditions provide favorable conditions for lemon cultivation. However, the lemon growing in Türkiye is plagued by various problems such as climate change, increasing plant disease, pests, storage problems, irrigation, rootstock, and cultivars. To analyze the problems experienced in lemon production in Türkiye in detail and to determine possible solutions, a survey was conducted in Adana, Mersin, Antalya, Muğla, and Hatay provinces of Türkiye. The survey was conducted online and 91 producers participated. In the survey, questions were asked about the producer, lemon orchards, maintenance and yield, harvest and storage, marketing, agricultural training, and expert support. As a result, all the problems mentioned above were examined in detail, problems were identified, and suggestions were made to solve these problems.
