The M/V Asian Lilly’s arrival marks the beginning of 2009 Citrus Season at the Gloucester Marine Terminal with fresh and delicious clementines and oranges from South Africa. Between now and the end of the year, citrus fruit is expected to arrive at Gloucester Terminals from South Africa,
Leo Holt, president of Holt LogisticsCorp. said, “The South African citrus season is very exciting for everyone here at Gloucester Terminals, for the quality of the product and as a harbinger of the new season. This season is expected to be robust due to better conditions than last year in the main growing area. The staff at Gloucester Terminals LLC, operator of the terminal, does a great job in handling these cargoes. You can expect to see this delicious fruit in our local and national food stores by the end of the work day, once all inspections are complete.” South Africa, like Chile and the other Southern Hemisphere supply sources, has an exceptional growing environment for all fruits, which puts healthy and tasty products into the food basket of the American consumer.
