How Mandarins are Harvested & Packed at Cuties Citrus in California

This video demonstrates how Cuties (mandarins) are harvested and packed in California. This video was taken at the Cuties packing house in Maricopa, California. Cuties are harvested in the field with specifically designed clippers, and transported to the packing house, where they are washed, waxed, dried, hand sorted, go through two black light rooms, are machine sorted by size and quality, and are packed and palletized until shipment.
