Spanish Orri mandarin season likely to begin earlier, with an estimated 25-30% less production

by

The maturing of Spanish Orri mandarins has been earlier than expected in an upcoming season expected to be shorter and with the possibility of a reduction of between 25 and 30 percent in production when compared with the record-breaking volume from the 2023/2024 season.

As the fruiting from the beginning of the mandarin and citrus season started earlier this year in principal producing areas than previous years due to the impact of weather conditions, the second half of the harvest is getting underway earlier than planned and will likely to be shorter than the previous season. Forecasts point toward a decrease in amount of production.

“Forecasts suggest a comparable Orri season like the one last year, with very high calibers,” says Guillermo Soler who is the manager for the Orri Running Committee (ORC). “Clementines of the beginning of the summer, like the Clemenules finish earlier because of a lesser production due to the lower yields, or due to the loss resulting from the abundance of rain.”

“The internal ripening of the fruit is expected to begin for varieties that are second-season in regions that are early, including varieties like Orri and Orri, which we think may be ready for harvest between mid and early January in the most earliest regions. In the past, temperatures were too low at this time of the year, which made peel degreening essential to ensure the fruit’s commercial. With the fall in temperatures during the last couple of days, the mandarins quickly acquiring the perfect colour in the early regions,” says Soler.

While the output could be anywhere between 25 and 30 percent lower that last year’s production but the ORC manager takes note of the figures from last year were record-breaking.

“As as we can tell that the growing regions of Orri were not affected by the severe storms and flooding that have ravaged Valencia. Valencia. The persistent rainfalls observed between the middle of October until mid-November that did impact several varieties that were in early season but have also been good for Orri. Orri species, and have caused size to increase and this year’s forecast is set to be very successful,” says Soler.

“With the best quality of fruits, a earlier harvest and less supply of mandarins, we anticipate that the demand for Orri to increase this year. Also, we will launch promotional initiatives to encourage its sales, which have increased slightly from year to year.” Guillermo Soler says. Guillermo Soler.
