LGS Specialty Sales, an importer of citrus, avocados, grapes, and persimmons, shares an update on the transition from southern hemisphere fruit to Moroccan citrus ahead of the IFPA Global Produce & Floral Show in Atlanta.
"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 of LGS Specialty Sales. "Our strategy to ensure consistent supply of fruit for our customers revolves around the plans we implement with importers to meet demand each year."
Sears says it is thankful for an earlier start to the Moroccan season with a healthy supply of mandarins it anticipates through April.
The company collaborates with select growers around the world to provide its customers with high-quality, in-season fruit sourced from growing regions known for having optimal climate and soil conditions. During this time of year, Moroccan fruit not only offers more variety to the U.S. market but also offers better positioning as it relates to supply chain efficacy.
"Due to Morocco's location, we can 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."
Along with Minneolas, LGS says the season is strong with Cara Caras, grapefruit, and mandarins.
LGS reports that the southern hemisphere season is 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 November.
The company will be at booth #2057 at IFPA where attendees can learn more about its winter plans for imported citrus, avocados, and grapes.
