Bee Sweet Citrus Announces Launch of 2016 Summer Import Program
FOWLER, CA - Bee Sweet’s 2016 summer import program is kicking off! And the company’s Citrus Sales Manager Joe Berberian is ready to share all the details.
“Bee Sweet Citrus is a one-stop-shop for all citrus commodities,” explained Berberian in a press release. “Through our import program, we are able to provide our consumers with a variety of products – regardless of the season.”
For more than 15 years, Bee Sweet Citrus has been working to develop relationships with both Chilean and Peruvian citrus growers. In order to ensure that all these imported products are safe to consume, the Bee Sweet Citrus Quality Control team sees that all products are certified and audited in the following three distinctions:
- Food safety
- Social accountability
- Sustainability
“All imported product, once off-loaded at the port, is trucked straight to our facility where it’s re-graded to ensure the highest quality,” added Bee Sweet Citrus Sales Representative, Anders Skooglund. “Additionally, we offer our customers the ability to repack and reconfigure the fruit to any specific pack style that they may want during these months.”
Between the months of May and October, Bee Sweet Citrus receives the following categories of imported citrus:
- Clementines
- Navel Oranges
- Cara Caras
- Minneolas
- Lemons
“The demand for citrus is year-round,” continued Berberian. “Through our summer import program, however, we can provide the public with the citrus they need, every day of the year.”
The Bee Sweet Citrus sales team handles all import clearance, logistics, inventory and conducts weekly market analysis calls with their international partners. To learn more about Bee Sweet’s programs visit www.beesweetcitrus.com, and keep following the citrus season with AndNowUKnow!
