Oranges in the spotlight: Navels & Valencia's

1920 updatesinaasappelmarkt vannavelsnaarvalenciarsquos

 

After a successful start with Navels, juicy, sweet Valencia's are now arriving. Read on for the latest information on quality, availability and logistics of both varieties. 

Navels: high juice content and quality 

This season's Navels are distinguished by exceptional sweetness and juiciness, with a very high juice content of 50% and brix values between 12 and 14. The high juice content is due to the fact that the oranges have hung on the tree longer to come to colour. Although the oranges still have a green blush, this does not detract from their excellent flavour and juiciness. Fewer volumes of Navels are available in the larger sizes.

Valencia's: larger sizes 

Of the Valencia's, precisely the larger sizes will be well available, while we will see a slightly lower volume in the smaller sizes. The Valencia's have similar quality to the Navels and we do not expect any deviations in juice content and brix values. 

Logistics and supply 

Valencia's supply is progressing well, and logistical challenges seem to be under control. We expect to meet demand in the coming weeks.   

If you have any questions or would like more information, do not hesitate to contact your account manager.

Limes

Moroccan limes provide breathing space in a tight organic lime market

Demand for organic fruit continues to grow, and organic limes are no exception. Their popularity is being driven partly by increasing demand for cocktails, mocktails and homemade lemonades, as well as their wider use in salads, curries and other dishes. Consumers are also increasingly choosing citrus grown without synthetic pesticides and without post-harvest fungicide treatment.

Kivinaki

Kivinaki ready for the new Organic Raingrown Oranges season

Ahead of the new organic orange season, our sourcing team visited Kivinaki in Peru. Over the past four years, we have built a successful export programme with this growers’ co-operative. During the visit, we worked together to prepare for the coming months.

Pineapple

Healthy soil makes organic pineapples more resilient

In Costa Rica, too, the effects of climate change are becoming increasingly apparent. Heavy rainfall, in particular, is making organic pineapple cultivation more challenging and requires growers to be adaptable.
