The summer citrus category is hot and officials at Consalo Family Farms want to make sure they are firmly positioned as a major player in the growing segment.

As summer approaches, Sunkist Growers is bringing fresh, vibrant citrus to the forefront with its standout varieties — California-grown Valencia oranges, grapefruit and lemons — leading the charge in a robust summer citrus lineup. As one of the largest suppliers of lemons and a leading supplier of California-grown Valencia oranges during this time of year, Sunkist summer citrus is shipping nationwide, ready to brighten up snacks, drinks and summer gatherings.

While many California-grown citrus varieties are nearing the end of their season, the Bee Sweet Citrus team reports that Star Ruby Grapefruit will be available through summer.

Salix Fruits, a leading importer-exporter of fresh fruits based in Philadelphia, announced the launch of its summer citrus program for 2025, marking the beginning of the Southern Hemisphere’s citrus season with featured products such as lemons, mandarins, oranges and grapefruits.

This season is significant for the company, according to Salix CEO Alejandro Moralejo, as citrus remains one of its core product categories.

LGS Specialty Sales expects a seamless transition from domestic and Moroccan mandarins into Southern Hemisphere supplies, offering Clemenules and Orograndes varieties over the next month and then transitioning to W. Murcotts and Tango varieties late June and early July.
