U.S.-based Pacific Organic Produce has announced it is now offering organic Peruvian citrus, provided from a second-generation grower in the Huaura river valley.

The farm began its transition to organic in 2004 and was certified organic in 2010. 

The farm focuses on using natural predators to maintain fruit quality and keeps a keen eye on balancing sugar and acid for optimum flavor, the company said.

"They are the first certified organic citrus shipper to export to the US and we’re proud to offer the fruit for now the 7th season – time to get excited for the only “off season”, certified organic, specialty citrus available in the US – Satsuma, Minneola & Murcotts," it said.

"A steady supply of 9kg Satsumas will be available July and August, followed by a steady supply of 15kg Minneola and 9kg Murcott in August and September."
