NEW ROCHELLE, NY - LGS Specialty Sales is making the transition from providing Southern Hemisphere fruit to its Moroccan citrus crop just in time to share the insightful update at this week’s Global Produce & Floral Show. The one-stop citrus supplier concluded the Southern Hemisphere season strong with Cara Caras, grapefruit, Mandarins, and Minneolas. Chilean W. Murcotts are currently holding steady, with supply expected through Thanksgiving and Moroccan citrus becoming available at the beginning of next month.
“This year, we are thankful for an earlier start to the Moroccan season with a healthy supply of Mandarins we anticipate through April,” said Luke Sears, President and Founder. “LGS’ strategy to ensure consistent supply of fruit for our customers revolves around the plans we implement with importers to meet demand each year.”
LGS collaborates with select growers around the world to provide its customers with high-quality, in-season fruit. The company strategically sources its products from growing regions known for having optimal climate and soil conditions.
At this time of year, Moroccan fruit not only offers more variety to the United States market but also offers better positioning regarding supply chain efficacy, the company stated in a press release.
“Due to Morocco’s location, we are able to give our customers competitive import pricing that is cost-effective,” said Sears. “We want the industry to know that LGS is a 365-day supplier of all things citrus, and we’re here to help support year-round!”
LGS will be on the show floor tomorrow at booth #2057 to discuss what is on the horizon for winter citrus, in addition to opportunities in the avocado and table grape categories.
