From The Field: Mandarins – April 6, 2021

WHAT OUR GROWERS ARE SAYING


SALTO

CITRUSDAL
FROM SALTO, URUGUAY:

“Crop is developing as expected, probably a little better in term of quality and volume. Color is acceptable, clementines go through a process of de-greening that is less intense than expected. Less than 1% have seeds.” – Camposol Uruguay

Clemenules from week of April 6, 2021
Clemenules from week of April 6, 2021
FROM Citrusdal, South Africa:

“Currently we are preparing for the first soft citrus to be exported to the U.S., the variety is Clemenluz. With the cool evenings there is good color development, and the warm days give rise to good internals with brix of 11.04. The fruit is virtually seedless and expected harvest week is week 16.” – Goede Hoop Vrugte
