Pressure Created on the Middle Eastern Orange Market

Moreover, since the last harvest season was mostly cold, there were a lot of shortages that were seen by the producers. Additionally, water shortages were also witnessed by the sellers of the local market. Hence, all of these factors, when clubbed together, accounted for the low and small fruit counts. At the present moment, most of these oranges fall into the small category. However, this is a temporary situation due to the inevitable weather. Since most countries are rolling out their last shipment, this has created an unsurmountable pressure to wind up this year’s orange season.

This late in the season, fruit for Europe, America and China all spill over into the Middle Eastern market and consequently, he says, he expects the Middle East orange market to come under immense pressure.
