Cyprus soft citrus

Originally based on clementines, Cyprus has had experience of specialised soft citrus growing for many years.
Production currently represents around 11% of the total island citrus crop, but the increasing demands for easy-peelers on the world market has encouraged growers to expand and adapt their citrus production with particular emphasis on Mandoras and Minneolas.
Soft citrus used to be produced only in the Limassol area, but research has shown the viability of many exciting new strains that can be grown throughout the citrus area, particularly to the west where there is already a number of new groves coming into production.
Main Varieties of soft citrus in Cyprus are: Mandoras, Minneolas, Nova, Clementines.
