This guide covers the decisions an importer makes on a purchase order: variety and window, grade, counts, packing and the quality checks worth writing into the contract. Build your spec, then ask for today’s price.
Varieties
- Navel: seedless eating orange for retail and wholesale programmes. Juice content about 60%.
- Valencia: the longest export window and the juice orange. Brix 10–12, acidity about 1.5%, juice about 70%.
- Baladi: exported for juice to Arab and European markets.
Class I and Class II: Commercial Grade
| Grade | Defects allowed per carton |
|---|---|
| Class I | 12–15% |
| Class II | Up to 30% |
Class II allows more skin marks and colour variation (defects up to 30% per carton). Write the grade and the defect allowance on your purchase order.
Sizes: Counts per 15 kg Carton
| Variety | Counts (fruit per 15 kg carton) | Most requested |
|---|---|---|
| Navel | 32, 36, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88 | 48–88 |
| Valencia | 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 100, 113 | 72–113 |
The count is the number of oranges in a 15 kg carton: the lower the count, the larger the fruit. Order a count band rather than a single count, so the packhouse can pack your order from the fruit coming off the line.
