We’re seeing high color and great flavor right from the start from each of the growing regions,” says Stu Monaghan, Australian Citrus Program Manager.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">The company encourages retailers to promote the Australian navels at the end of July through the first week of October. Minneolas will be ready to promote the second week of July through September and the Cara Cara Navels and Blood Oranges will be added to the lineup in the fall. </p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p><a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary col-lg-12" style="white-space: normal;" href="http://www.dneworld.com/" target="_new">DNE World Fruit </a></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
