Spain continues with the harvest of the Navelina variety of oranges, but a 10% production loss is expected in the 2022/23 season compared to the 2021/22 season due to the heat waves and rainfall shortage experienced in 2022. The majority of calibres are medium to small, with 36–40–44–48 pieces in 9kg boxes, and the Middle East is the primary market preferring these calibres right now. The orange price remained stable in W46 at USD 0.88/kg compared to previous weeks.
In addition, the Egyptian orange campaign is expected to begin in mid-December, concentrating on medium and small calibres. Since it is anticipated that Egypt will produce a large amount of navel oranges from December through the end of January, the price will be competitive for Spanish navel oranges. Therefore, it will be more advantageous to produce large sizes during those months, especially in countries where large oranges are in high demand, such as Brazil.
