Both fruits, known for their juicy segments and vibrant peel, not only fuel the economy but also provide substantial health benefits. Both oranges, part of the citrus family, are Nepal's most cultivated fruit. With production exceeding 185,000 tons annually, they are farmed on nearly 27,892 hectares across 48 districts.
