DiSilva Fruit, Chelsea, Mass., is expanding its Morning Kiss Organic mandarin program.

The company sources organic mandarins from California, shipping December through April.

The company also packs citrus from Chile and Peru for the year-round program, packing satsumas, clementines, murcotts and tangos in 1-, 2-, 3- and 5-pound bags, according to a news release.

“I’m so excited we’ve been able to grow this program at such a rapid pace, Morning Kiss Organic’s Nelly Czajkowski said in the release. “Mandarins are one of my favorite pieces of fruit and I know many consumers feel the same way.”

The company is expanding its private-label citrus business as well.

“We are in a great position to provide our retail customers with high quality, consistent conventional and organic private label programs,”

The company’s just-in-time delivery management reduces product loss at the retail level, according to the release.
