Bee Sweet Citrus Reports Strong Start To Import Season
July 10, 2017 | 1 min to read
Fowler, Calif. – Approximately one month has elapsed since the start of Bee Sweet’s import program, and its sales team is pleased with its progress thus far.
“This season is off to a great start,” said Bee Sweet Citrus Sales Manager Joe Berberian. “We were able to start earlier than last year, which has allowed for a smooth transition of product.”
A grower, packer and shipper of citrus, Bee Sweet Citrus is the largest importer of Chilean citrus on the West Coast. With last year’s domestic season ending in July, there was a surplus of California product to handle causing a large fluctuation of price during the transition of the two seasons. This year, however, the industry’s domestic Navel orange and mandarin crop have ended early, giving imports a strong start.
“July and August should be great promotional months for clementines and oranges,” continued Berberian. “The eating quality of our imports is great, and we’re thankful for our Chilean partners for helping us to kick off a strong, successful season.”
