Mercadona starts its Spanish orange season in November
Mercadona has started selling Spanish-grown oranges in its supermarkets as the season begins in November.
The fruit comes from suppliers in Andalusia, Murcia, Valencia, the Canary Islands and Catalonia.
The company says its Spanish orange campaign lasts until around August.
From mid-August until November, it imports oranges because Spain’s harvest has ended and there is no local crop during those months.
Mercadona says more than 90% of the oranges it sells are Spanish.
This season’s Navelina oranges are available loose or in three- and five-kilogram nets, at prices that vary by size.
The company says it sold about 131,000 tonnes of Spanish oranges during the 2025/26 season.
