Nepal’s National Fruit Orange Enters Peak Season
People purchase oranges from a wholesale market in Kathmandu, Nepal, on December 7, 2025. With the onset of cooler months, Nepal's markets brim with oranges as it is the season for the country's national fruit. Known for its juicy segments and vibrant orange peel, this citrus favorite not only fuels the economy but also provides substantial health benefits. Oranges, part of the citrus family, are Nepal's most cultivated fruit. With production exceeding 185,000 tons annually, oranges are farmed on nearly 27,892 hectares across 48 districts. The National Agriculture Census shows oranges as the second most widely grown fruit after mangoes, making them a staple crop and key revenue source for farmers in the hill regions.
