Wholesale orange prices on the European market

Oranges are the most traded citrus fruit globally, with Europe being a major consumption market. Spain is the largest European producer, while South Africa, Egypt, and Brazil supply significant volumes during the counter-season. On the Fresh-market.info portal, we publish daily wholesale prices and market reports from major exchanges and wholesale markets in Poland (including Bronisze, Wroclaw, Poznan), as well as key EU countries — Spain, Italy, Greece, and the Netherlands.

What types of oranges do we track?

For precise market analysis, we divide quotations into several important segments relevant to traders and retailers:

• Navel oranges: seedless table oranges dominating winter retail, with Valencia Late extending the season into summer
• Juice oranges: varieties destined for processing and fresh-squeezed juice programmes in supermarkets and HoReCa
• Blood oranges: Tarocco, Moro, and Sanguinello varieties from Sicily and Spain, a premium niche with growing demand

Factors influencing orange prices

Orange prices are influenced by Spanish harvest volumes, competition from Southern Hemisphere imports, juice concentrate prices on commodity exchanges, fruit calibre, and cold-chain logistics costs. Citrus greening disease and water scarcity in Mediterranean regions increasingly affect long-term supply.
