SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY, CA - Reports from various sources show that the current citrus market for oranges is steady. However, PRO*ACT’s The Source Report states that markets are rising as the Navel season moves past its peak.
The Navel season out of California’s San Joaquin Valley is slated to wrap up in June. The Source states that small fruit will be limited, and suppliers are working to meet their contracts with remaining supplies amidst delays in the Valencia season, which begins in early June and is expected to go through the fall.
Despite lighter supplies, USDA reports a steady market for oranges at this time. Out of the Los Angeles Terminal Market, USDA’s report lists the following pricing for orange varieties:
