Origin Story

Orange is cultivated across several regions of India, particularly in Nagpur (Maharashtra), the hills of Darjeeling and Kalimpong (West Bengal), Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, and parts of Assam. These regions offer well-drained soils, warm days, seasonal rainfall, and abundant sunshine—conditions ideal for producing flavorful citrus fruit. Indian oranges hold deep cultural significance and are closely linked to local agricultural traditions. Many orchards support pollinators and contribute to diverse farming landscapes, creating vibrant ecosystems where fruit cultivation and biodiversity coexist.
