Spanish citrus production is expected to soar

Early ripening citrus in Spain is expected to start harvesting from September 15 to 16. The citrus fruit is treated by the citrus sorting machine to improve the fruit quality. Some citrus need to be cleaned, graded and waxed in order to meet the needs of consumers in the market. So the citrus cleaning and grading waxing machine plays a very important role in the citrus picking and post-treatment.

According to Spanish media reports, the harvest of oranges and clementines in the country has been slightly advanced this season, and supply has also increased. This year, the competition between the two hemispheres is expected to be the smallest in recent years due to a significant increase in consumer demand for fruits to enhance immunity and prevent new coronavirus (covid-19), while citrus in the southern hemisphere is almost sold out.

 

"We hope to start the promotion of early maturing citrus varieties such as okitsu and clausellina in the new season from September 15 to 16. The first batch of extra early maturing Clementine oranges are expected to start harvesting in 10 days, "said Javier us ó, manager of frustin, based in Castell ó n. "At present, the harvest time is similar to the previous season, or maybe a little earlier, but the oranges are not ahead of time, as usual."

 

It is reported that this year's supply will be higher, especially Clementine's medium maturing varieties, which had a sharp decline in production last season. "In oranges, the early varieties have normal yield and good quality in size and appearance. Therefore, it is almost certain that this season's production will surpass that of the previous one. "

 

Citrus grading machines produced by First Industry are used all over the world. Many customers decided to buy fruit graders immediately after visiting the factory, because citrus graders can not only separate citrus, but also other fruits. It is a real multi-purpose machine, which can save a lot of budget for growers and fruit processors.
