LGS Specialty Sales shares an update on its mandarin supply ahead of the summer season. The company expects a seamless transition from domestic and Moroccan fruit into southern hemisphere supply, offering Clemenules and Orograndes varieties over the next month and then transitioning to W. Murcotts and Tango varieties late-June/early-July.
"This year, we are experiencing excellent timing for southern hemisphere fruit," said Lucio Rainelli, director of sales at LGS Specialty Sales. "Moving directly from Moroccan W. Murcotts to clementines from the southern hemisphere should alleviate any issues with supply disruption or quality."
Fruit will arrive in the U.S. the week of May 12 with heavier supply anticipated the following week. The earlier time frame ensures quality fruit will remain on the shelves despite the shift in growing regions.
"We are extremely pleased to offer our customers a smooth transition and give consumers an excellent eating experience with this year's higher volume, great sizing, and color," added Rainelli. "Looking forward to a good summer season ahead!"
