The article highlights the challenges faced by Peru in its early mandarin and clementine harvest for the 2023 season due to unexpected weather conditions, including off-schedule rains and a warm autumn, as reported by Mark Greenberg of Capespan North America.

Despite the setbacks, Greenberg emphasizes that the delay in Peru's export schedule this year is not as severe as last year, ensuring a smooth transition into the mandarin and early clementine season.
