Product Name: Orah Mandarin (Wogan)

Description:
Orah Mandarin, also known as Wogan or Fertile Orange, is a premium late-season mandarin variety originating from Israel. It is a hybrid of "Temple" tangor and "Dancy" mandarin, developed through the breeding efforts of Israel’s agricultural research programs. Introduced to China in 2004 by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences’ Citrus Research Institute, it has since been successfully adapted and promoted across Guangxi, Chongqing, and other citrus-producing regions, officially certified as a suitable variety for Guangxi’s citrus production areas.

A Mandarin That Redefines Sweetness and Convenience:

Orah Mandarin is celebrated for its exceptional sugar-acid balance and remarkably long harvest window. Soluble solids content reaches 13% Brix or higher, while acidity is only 0.47%, yielding a sugar-to-acid ratio of 27.66 – delivering a rich, sweet, and refreshing flavor that has earned it the reputation as “the sweetest among citrus.” The flesh is tender, juicy, and melting (化渣) , with 9–11 segments of deep orange, fine-textured juice sacs. The fruit is easy to peel, with a thin skin (2.5–2.74mm) that separates cleanly from the flesh, making it exceptionally convenient for snacking.

Appearance:
The fruit is flat-round and neatly shaped, with a smooth, glossy orange to orange-red skin. Average fruit weight is 130–165 grams, with an edible rate of 78.80% and juice yield of 60.56%. The flesh is deep orange-red, fine-textured, and bursting with juice.

Nutritional Excellence:
Orah Mandarin is rich in Vitamin C (21.12mg/100mL) and potassium, and contains hesperidin (897.63 mg/kg) – a beneficial flavonoid with antioxidant properties. Its solid-acid ratio of 27.66 indicates an exceptionally well-balanced flavor profile.

Key Commercial Advantages:

• Exceptional Sweetness – 13%+ Brix with only 0.47% acidity for a rich, sweet flavor

• Extra-Long Harvest Window – Matures from January to February, with fruit holdable on the tree until May, and up to July–August in some regions

• Excellent Storage Life – Cold storage for 60+ days without quality loss

• Easy to Peel – Thin skin separates effortlessly from the flesh

• High Yield & Vigorous Growth – Strong tree vigor with reliable productivity

• Premium Market Recognition – The Wuming production region in Guangxi (460,000 mu, 200,000 tons exported in 2024) has established Orah as a leading premium citrus brand

Growing Regions:
Native to Israel, Orah Mandarin is now extensively cultivated in Guangxi (Wuming – the largest production region with 460,000 mu), Chongqing, Yunnan (Lijiang, Yongsheng), Sichuan, and other subtropical citrus-growing regions. The Wuming region's subtropical monsoon climate – with an average annual temperature of 22.9°C and 1,609 hours of annual sunshine – produces fruit with exceptional sweetness and appearance.

Cultivation Notes:

• Climate: Requires annual average temperature above 17.5°C; winter minimum not below 0°C; optimal growth at 20–22°C for sugar accumulation

• Site Selection: Slopes below 15° for mountain cultivation; reliable water source and good drainage essential

• Rootstock: Sweet orange, red tangerine, trifoliate orange, or citrange are recommended; avoid trifoliate orange × pummelo hybrids due to grafting incompatibility

• Planting Density: 2.5m × 4m or 3m × 5m for adequate ventilation and light penetration

• Fertilization: Heavy application of decomposed organic manure or compound fertilizer as base; supplement with phosphorus, potassium, zinc, and magnesium on poor soils

• Pruning: Prevent early flowering in young trees; develop an open canopy for light penetration and air circulation

• Pest Management: Follow integrated pest management (IPM) principles; focus on prevention and green control to minimize chemical inputs

Harvest Season:
December to April (main supply) – with the harvest window extending from mid-December through late April, and fruit capable of remaining on the tree until July–August in late-maturing regions like Yunnan's Jinsha River dry-hot valley. A premium late-season mandarin that delivers superior sweetness, exceptional storage life, and an extraordinarily long market presence for fresh sales, gift packaging, e-commerce logistics, and export channels.
