Citrus
Tangerines
Clementines and mandarins, domestic and counter-season.
California and Florida carry the domestic mandarin deal through the winter and spring. Chile, Peru and Uruguay take the mid-year window when domestic supply is gone, with Morocco and South Africa adding depth. Easy-peelers are a category a retailer cannot afford to drop for a quarter, and multiple hemispheres are the only way to hold it.
