 "Now, taste Australian 'Fremont Mandarins' in India")
Indians can now taste Australia’s most popular citrus fruit - Fremont Mandarins - without visiting to that country.
Leading fruits importer and exporter, IG International (IGIPL) has launched “Fremont Mandarins” from Australia for the first time in India. The Fremont Mandarins would be imported from Ironbark Citrus, a renowned grower of Mandarins in Queensland, Australia, one of Queensland’s top citrus exporters.
“India was the only market left for Fremont Mandarins after its successful launch in other Asian countries including Indonesia. So, we introduced this citrus fruit in India. While first consignment of around 20 tonnes has already arrived and almost sold, another one is in transit. Every two weeks, we see one consignment coming in,” said Tarun Arora, Director, IG International.
Mandarins are really wonderful fruits of citrus family. They are very low in calories and widely regarded as one of the important ‘cleansing’ fruits. Two small mandarins supply 35 per cent of the daily recommended requirement of Vitamin C. They are very popular throughout the world today.
In India, Fremont Mandarins can be compared with the orange from Nagpur-origin. Since, the orange is currently not available due to its off-season, Fremont Mandarins can compensate the requirement of citrus fruits in India. Sold to stockists at Rs 120 a kg, consumers can get Fremont Mandarins at Rs 150 a kg.
“Its shelf life is much higher than oranges available from Nagpur and also tastes better,” said Arora.
Ironbark Citrus is Australia’s premier boutique mandarin grower and specialises in supplying premium mandarins to the world. The company processes its fruit in its own on-site facilities to ensure maximum shelf life.
“The Indian fresh fruit market is one of the world’s fastest growing markets. Our premium mandarins are extremely popular throughout the world and are sold in many countries. We are confident that India will become an important market for this wonderful fruit,” said Ms Susan Jenkin, Chief Executive Officer, Ironbark Citrus.
