Orange Importers in Java Island, Indonesia, Expect Peak Demand in October

Orange and mandarin imports in Java Island, Indonesia, are expected to peak in early October, especially in East Java, Central Java, and Yogyakarta. The high demand will occur due to the "Grebeg Maulid" and other Maulid festivals. During the events, Javanese Muslims gift oranges, apples, grapes, bananas, and other fruits to people in mosques and their neighborhoods, which is why orange imports are forecasted to rise in August and September to prepare for the October festivities.
