In recent years, the high number of citrus producers and the greater production volumes on the market have pushed small growers to seek a mark of differentiation in order to gain some market share. It is for this reason that they have focused on specialising in the cultivation, harvesting and sale of mandarins with leaf. "Our product is mostly intended for small stores, small supermarkets, retailers, etc. We know that we have a reduced and very specific market," explains Salvador Badenes, head of Frutas Bapesal.
"It is difficult to talk about prices, because they depend on the destination, the customer and the moment of the season, but we can say that they are not very different to those of leafless mandarins. I estimate there may be an average difference of between 5 and 10%."
