China: "Lower production of crystal sugar oranges will result in higher prices"

“It is estimated that the production of crystal sugar oranges from Yongxing this year will be about 10% lower compared with last year. This is mainly due to overly abundant rainfall in the Yongxing area during the first half of the year when trees blossomed. Over the past month, the area has also suffered from drought. Therefore, even though our planted acreages have increased, production has still been affected by uneven rainfall,” Mr. Cao of Yongxing County Crystal Sugar Orange Farmers Cooperative said.

“This product becomes available on the market between the end of October and early November each year, and the supply period lasts until January of the following year. Due to the lower production this season, prices are expected to increase by 1.00 yuan per kilogram compared with the same period in previous years. Compared with other varieties, this variety becomes available earlier. In addition, the sizes are smaller than most oranges, such as navels from Southern Jiangxi province.

"Affected by the weather, this year's crops are generally smaller. This is, to some extent, not conducive to selling in the local market, because Chinese consumers prefer larger fruit. Currently, our products are mainly sold to wholesale markets in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Shanghai through traditional sales channels. In addition to being able to supply the sizes required by our customers, we can also provide them with fruit packed in gift packages and fruit for further processing. This variety can be easily distinguished from the others is mainly thanks to the fact that their ripe fruit has a nearly spherical shape; the orange peel is mainly orange-yellow, with some being orange-red; the surface is smooth, and the flesh is orange-yellow.
