During W49, many Indonesian importers have been seeking alternatives to Chinese oranges due to the tight logistic situation in China, caused by uncertainties due to the Covid situation and protests in Beijing. These factors have caused a higher risk of shipment delays. Meanwhile, most of the importer's quota will be expired at the end of December 2022.

One of the challenges for Egypt's orange is the taste that sometimes is too sour for Indonesian people.
