Bee Sweet Citrus sees pandemic citrus surge as summer begins
Bee Sweet Citrus is transitioning into its annual summer program as the pandemic continues to drive sales.
“Over the past few months, our industry has seen a huge surge in demand for citrus varieties across the board,” Joe Berberian, Bee Sweet Citrus sales representative, said in a news release.
The company expects a steady demand throughout the summer months because consumers are continuing to invest in their health, according to the release.
Bee Sweet’s summer citrus line includes Star Ruby grapefruit, Sanguinelli blood oranges, lemons and Valencia oranges, and Chilean navels and mandarins.
“This combination of both domestic and offshore product also upholds the company’s ‘no gap’ promise — ensuring customers access to citrus, even as the state’s domestic season comes to an end,” according to the release.
“The versatility of our summer line can meet the needs of any niche market, while also providing consumers with the added nutrition they look for in produce commodities,” Monique Bienvenue, Bee Sweet Citrus director of communications, said in the release.
