Saudi Arabian Buyers Anticipate Bountiful Season of Egyptian Oranges

Buyers of fresh fruits in Saudi Arabia are gearing up for the upcoming large season of Egyptian oranges. In the previous season, most shipments were transported by trucks inland, with a wholesale price of approximately USD 0.40 per kilogram (kg). Trading is typically conducted on a commission basis, and fixed prices are relatively uncommon. The preferred packaging in the Saudi Arabian market is a 7 kg open-top box.
