“Harvest of our navel oranges started in November and is hitting its peak,” says Joan Wickham with Sunkist Growers. The company’s navels are grown in both California and Western Arizona. “Overall quality is excellent and good color is coming in with the cooler weather,” added Wickham.
The season is off to a great start with strong pre-holiday pulls and demand is expected to stay strong through the holiday season and into the New Year as consumers look to make healthier choices. “Navel oranges are part of many family’s holiday traditions and make the holidays even brighter.”
Retailers can capitalize on holiday opportunities with Sunkist’s seasonally themed packaging – designed to build eye-catching displays that generate excitement and sales results. Bright, colorful 10-pound navel orange cartons are available with festive holiday bows, winter snowflakes and even St. Nick.
