OVIEDO, FL – Duda Farm Fresh Foods has a large variety of citrus items now available in promotable volumes nationwide for summer citrus categories as it kicks off its citrus import season.

“Seasonal weather has the potential to occasionally diminish growing conditions in the United States, which can affect a consumer’s ability to access fresh citrus fruit,” said Alberto Cuellar, Duda Farm Fresh Foods Director Global Business Development.  Because of this, it is temporarily necessary to import fruits as a means of promoting healthy and happy living, and meeting the needs of American consumers, according to a press release.

“Consumer demand continues to grow for specialty items in citrus such as Meyer Lemons, Tangelos, and Cara Cara oranges,” said Paul Huckabay, Duda Farm Fresh Foods Western Citrus Sales Manager. “We have relationships with the best growers around the globe to provide the quality and taste experience that consumers want.”

This summer, grapefruit varieties, oranges and specialty fruits including Meyer lemons will be available from Florida, California, Chile, New Zealand, Peru, South Africa and Uruguay.  This marks the first commercial season that the U.S. gained approval for import of citrus from Uruguay.

Duda will be supporting sales with an online sales kit that includes recipes and point-of-sale material.
