According to Mayo Clinic, a non-profit entity focused on clinical practice, education, and research, there's a strong recommendation for unrestricted intake of fruits and vegetables due to their fiber content and essential nutrients. In this context, oranges emerge as the most consumed fruit by Argentines.
Research by Ranking of the Royals, a platform for news, rankings, and statistics, places Argentina as the fifth-highest consumer of oranges per capita annually in South America and 21st worldwide, with an average consumption of 26.19 kilograms per person. Despite this significant figure, Argentina's consumption is relatively low compared to other regional countries. Citrus fruits lead in Argentina's fruit production, with orange cultivation primarily in the North-West, Mesopotamia, and the North-West of Buenos Aires province. Paraguay leads in South American orange consumption per capita (40.8 kg), followed by Bolivia (32.43 kg), Brazil (31.28 kg), and Uruguay (26.49 kg).
