Citrus

The Western Australian citrus industry primarily supplies the local market with high quality oranges, mandarins, grapefruit, lemons and limes. 

Growing areas range from Kununurra in the north to Harvey in the south with recent expansion and large businesses near Moora. The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development works very closely with theWA Citrus on trialling new varieties and providing other technical assistance related to orchard management.

Fresh citrus is available for much of the year from local orchards and imported at other times. The main local season runs from May to December.
