Description
Tangerine Oil is cold-pressed from the fruit peels of the Citrus Reticulata tree, which grows abundantly throughout China and the southern United States. Originally a native product of North America, the tangerine is a “new world” variety of the East Asian Mandarin. Unlike the mandarin, tangerines are larger and have a much yellower skin. Tangerine Oil CP China has a sweet and fresh aroma, often compared to bitter orange or Valencia orange. Despite their close botanical origins, tangerine oil cannot be used as a replacement for mandarin, as its chemical composition differs greatly from its native Asian counterpart. The Dancy variety of tangerine is derived from Brazilian material.

The 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season is expected to be much more intense than usual, which can negatively impact tangerine production is storms are too severe. In contrast, the main issue for tangerine productivity in 2023 was drought – Mexico experienced a 30% decline in tangerine production due to widespread droughts throughout its key producing regions.
