The small sizes are sought after by packagers, so it's possible there may be some money to be made there," continues the importer. He names the weather conditions as an advantage compared to the Spanish oranges. "You can be certain of one thing, the fruit always grows and it's always available. You couldn't say that of Spain in recent weeks."
