citrus farming
Citrus farming involves the cultivation of citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruits. These fruits thrive in warm climates with well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight. Farmers typically plant young trees and care for them by providing adequate water, nutrients, and protection from pests and diseases.
Harvesting usually occurs when the fruits reach their peak ripeness, which varies by type. After picking, the fruits are often sorted and packaged for sale in local markets or for export. Citrus farming plays a significant role in agriculture, contributing to both local economies and global food supply.
