About fruit, edible; clementines, fresh or dried

HS code 080522 covers the import and export of fresh or dried clementines, a type of small, sweet citrus fruit. Clementines are a popular and widely traded commodity, with global production and trade playing a significant role in the broader fruit and vegetable industry. As a highly versatile and nutritious fruit, clementines are in demand worldwide for both fresh consumption and use in various food products.

Production process

Clementines are typically grown in warm, Mediterranean-like climates. The production process involves cultivating clementine trees, which are a hybrid of mandarin oranges and sweet oranges. Growers carefully monitor the trees' growth, ensuring proper irrigation, fertilization, and pest management. Harvesting is done manually or with specialized machinery, with the fruit carefully picked and sorted for quality and size. Post-harvest, clementines may be washed, waxed, and packaged for distribution and sale.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the clementine industry include the land, water, and climatic conditions suitable for growing citrus fruits. Growers also require access to clementine tree seedlings or saplings, as well as agricultural equipment and tools for cultivation, harvesting, and post-harvest processing. Additionally, inputs such as fertilizers, pesticides, and packaging materials are essential for efficient and sustainable clementine production.
