There has been a total of 209,388 tonnes of Navels and Mandarins exported, compared to 229,624t exported during the same period in 2021. Breaking that down further, Navel Oranges are at 135,642 tonnes, compared to 152,034 tonnes in 2021 at week 44. The decrease was due to Albedo's breakdown at the beginning of the season, a shortage of pickers, and heavy rain.
