Which citrus varieties and table grapes does MFC supply, and when are they in season?
Updated
MFC (Mildura Fruit Company) supplies oranges, mandarins, lemons, grapefruit and table grapes, sourced from more than 150 growers across three of Australia's leading citrus regions. For season timing, MFC publishes a Varietal Calendar that shows when each fruit and variety is available; that calendar is the page to check before planning a purchase or shipment, since the site does not list month-by-month dates on its home page.
The fruit range
MFC describes itself as one of Australia's leading citrus packers and exporters, packing and marketing Australian citrus for global markets across 30+ countries. Its product pages cover five categories:
| Fruit | How MFC describes it |
|---|---|
| Oranges | Premium oranges, with top-quality varieties supplied throughout the entire season |
| Mandarins | Sweet, easy-to-peel fruit positioned for flavour, convenience and health benefits |
| Lemons | Tangy citrus valued for flavour and versatility |
| Grapefruit | Tangy, juicy fruit with a bold flavour |
| Grapes | Crisp, flavourful table grapes for snacking, with natural sweetness and nutrients |
Each fruit category has its own page with a link to the Varietal Calendar, so you can move from a general fruit type to the specific varieties within it.
Checking what's in season
The Varietal Calendar is the single reference point for seasonal availability across the range. The practical workflow is:
- Open the Varietal Calendar from the home page or from any fruit page.
- Find the fruit type you're interested in (for example, mandarins).
- Read the calendar for the varieties and the periods when they are available.
- Cross-check against the specific fruit page if you need more detail on a variety.
The site also notes that MFC's citrus is supplied "throughout the entire season" for oranges, which signals that availability is continuous rather than limited to a short window — but the exact variety mix at any given time still depends on the calendar.
Why the calendar matters for buyers
MFC's range spans citrus and table grapes, and different varieties peak at different times. Because the company supplies more than 30 countries and works with over 150 growers, the variety available in a given month is a function of both the growing region and the specific variety. The Varietal Calendar is designed to answer exactly that question, rather than leaving buyers to infer seasonality from general fruit pages.
If you need a specific variety for a program or shipment, start with the calendar, then use the individual fruit pages to confirm the variety is part of MFC's offering. For food safety and brand information relevant to a purchase decision, MFC also maintains dedicated Food Safety and Our Brands pages.
