Orange city of India: Nagpur’s citrus legacy and economic prowess · CNBC TV 18

Nagpur, a city in India, is famous for its oranges and is called the Orange City.

It has been growing oranges for a very long time and is the biggest place in India for orange farming, trading, and selling.

The oranges from Nagpur are special because they have a thin peel, are bright and juicy, and are protected by a special tag that shows they come from this area.

The city has a lot of land where oranges are grown, and the fruit is sent all over India.

The government is also helping to send Nagpur oranges to other countries and to build new places where oranges can be processed.

Even though there are some problems like bad weather and losses after harvesting, the orange business in Nagpur is still strong and important.
