NEW ROCHELLE, NY – LGS Specialty Sales a leading importer of citrus, avocados, grapes, and persimmons, shares an update on the transition from southern hemisphere fruit to Moroccan citrus.
“This year, we are thankful for an earlier start to the Moroccan season with a healthy supply of mandarins we anticipate through April,” said Luke Sears, president, and founder of LGS Specialty Sales. “LGS’ strategy to ensure consistent supply of fruit for our customers revolves around the plans we implement with importers to meet demand each year.”
The company collaborates with select growers around the world to provide its customers with high-quality, in-season fruit sourced from the finest growing regions known for having optimal climate and soil conditions. During this time of year, Moroccan fruit not only offers more variety to the U.S. market, but also offers better positioning as it relates to supply chain efficacy.
“Due to Morocco’s location, we are able to give our customers competitive import pricing that is cost effective,” said Sears. “We want the industry to know that LGS is a 365-day supplier of all things citrus and we’re here to help support year-round!”
LGS concluded the southern hemisphere season strong with Cara Caras, Grapefruit, Mandarins and Minneolas. Chilean W. Murcotts are currently holding steady with supply expected through Thanksgiving and Moroccan citrus becoming available at the beginning of November.
