Why Seville orange is moving
High confidenceThe current price for Seville oranges has fallen to $42.00 per case, marking a substantial -27.6% drop over the week. This significant price adjustment is primarily due to a robust influx of supply as the market navigates a key growing-district transition. Strong counter-seasonal imports of citrus, including sour orange varieties, continue to arrive by sea from Southern Hemisphere origins like Peru and Chile, whose shipping windows extend into October. Additionally, the Moroccan citrus season is commencing, contributing to an increased overall availability of these specialty oranges and driving prices to the lower end of their annual range.

Written automatically from public sources on 2026-10-13. Our own quotes are the supplier's; the causes above come from the sources listed.
What is in the case
The supplier states no weight for the VF pack, so we quote it as a pack and publish no price per pound for it. That is a limit of the source, and the reason our figure stays comparable from one week to the next: a per-pound price built on an assumed case weight moves whenever the assumption does.

About Seville orange
Citrus is a deep line on this catalog and one where the pack format matters more than the fruit's name. Lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruit are all quoted by count size, so a carton of large fruit and a carton of small fruit weigh about the same and hold very different numbers — they are not comparable quotes even though both are "a case". Our reference data documents twelve-month supply built on a domestic winter and spring deal out of California, Arizona and Florida, with Southern Hemisphere and Mediterranean fruit taking over in summer and fall. The specialty lines — Meyer lemons, Cara Cara and Seville oranges, kumquat, finger limes — run on far thinner supply than the commodity sizes and behave differently.
Buying notes
Always quote the count: the wholesaler lists several sizes of the same lemon or lime at once, and the spread between them is a size gap, not a quality gap — the highest counts are the lowest cost per fruit. If your prep can absorb smaller fruit, that spread is where the saving sits.
