Summer oranges herald the arrival of the monsoon season.

Chettalli, June 16: Even before the onset of the monsoon, the golden-colored summer oranges in the orchards of Kodagu are attracting everyone's attention. Once known as the "Kodaga orange" across the country, this fruit has returned to the farmers' orchards after many years of ups and downs with a bountiful harvest. This orange, which is ready for harvest before the onset of the monsoon, has won the appreciation of consumers for its unique aroma, sweet-sour taste and juicy qualities.

Many orange trees that had yielded good yields for many years died due to diseases, weather conditions and root rot, resulting in a decline in the yield in the last few years. But this time, due to favorable weather conditions, the trees have set fruit in good quantities and the harvest is promising, said Chamera Santhu Jagan, an orange grower from Devastur-Kaluru village in Madikeri taluk.

Orange trees in many parts of the district are full of fruits and this fruit, which is coming to the market even before the monsoon, is a source of additional income for farmers. Orange, which is recognized as a traditional horticultural crop of Kodagu, is showing signs of regaining its former glory.

Summer oranges, which grow amidst coffee plantations, bring additional income to farmers and are also recognized as a symbol of Kodagu's agricultural diversity. The demand for Kodagu oranges is increasing not only in the local markets but also in neighboring districts and outside states, and farmers are expecting a better price this time.

Summer oranges, which are blooming on the threshold of the rainy season, have revived the sweet memories of Kodagu's agricultural heritage and have instilled new hope in farmers who faced hardships. This golden fruit is once again invigorating the gardens of Kodagu and increasing the hope of better days ahead.
