Oranges in Canada come from South Africa, Argentina and Chile in September

Canadian distributors are sourcing oranges in September from South Africa, Argentina and Chile. The pricing is very competitive from those origins. At Montreal, CIF prices for 15kg boxes,sizes 48 and 56, were USD 15.00 the last week of August and USD 16.00 the first week of September. Canadian distributors are not sourcing from Australia because the current pricing is too high (USD 26.00 CIF Montreal for 18kg) compared to the other offers they have from countries that have closer locations.
