Varieties Navel, Valencia Load ports Melbourne, Sydney, Fremantle, and Brisbane

Navels roughly June to October out of the Riverina, Riverland and Sunraysia, with Valencias carrying a thinner tail behind them. This is the Northern Hemisphere summer window, which is what the whole programme exists for — an Australian orange competes with nothing local in the market it is sold into.

Almost all of it is sold into Asia and North America, and the protocol markets are the constraint rather than the harvest: registered orchards, registered packhouses and a phytosanitary regime agreed country by country. A grower without the right registration has fruit and no market for it, which is a different problem from a short season.

Last reviewed August 2026. Editorial ranges for a normal year, not a published schedule. Weather moves them, sometimes by weeks.
