Roughly November to January, out of Hunan, Jiangxi and Guangxi. The window lands on the Northern Hemisphere winter alongside Spain and Morocco, but the volume goes to Southeast Asia and Russia rather than west.

That is worth knowing when a European easy-peeler is being offered into an Asian market in December. The comparison the buyer is making is against fruit that travelled a week, not five, and the price on this row is what a Spanish or Moroccan programme has to answer.
