Malta, known internationally as the blood orange, is a pigmented sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) grown across the citrus orchards of Punjab, Pakistan. It is valued for its crimson-streaked flesh, deep sweet-tart flavour, and heavy juice content.

The red pigmentation comes from anthocyanins, the same natural antioxidant group found in berries, and it develops when the fruit experiences cool night temperatures during ripening. This is also why colour intensity varies from season to season and even between pickings — some lots show full crimson flesh, others show partial streaking. Fruit is hand-picked at proper maturity, washed, size graded, and packed under hygienic conditions, then pre-cooled and held in cold storage before loading.

Malta is supplied to fruit importers, juice and pulp processors, beverage manufacturers, supermarket buyers, hotels, and wholesale markets. Photographs, cut-fruit samples, and packing-line videos can be shared before a full container order, and FOB, CFR, or CIF terms can be discussed for buyers in the Gulf, Middle East, Central Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Far East.

Important quality note: Flesh colour in blood oranges depends on natural anthocyanin development and varies with night temperatures, orchard location, and stage of the season. Early-season fruit often shows lighter or partial streaking rather than full crimson. Fixed colour claims, brix figures, shelf-life guarantees, or price levels should only be confirmed after the relevant lot has been cut, inspected, and agreed, and any post-harvest treatment applied to a consignment is disclosed in writing before shipment.
Product FAQs

Pakistani Malta Blood Orange Frequently Asked Questions

Key information for fruit importers, juice processors, supermarket buyers, wholesalers, and distributors.

What is Malta?

Malta is the local name for the blood orange, a pigmented variety of Citrus sinensis grown in Pakistan's Punjab citrus belt. It is known for crimson flesh, high juice content, and a sweet-tart taste.

Why does the red colour vary between fruits?

The pigment is anthocyanin, which develops when the fruit is exposed to cool nights while ripening. Colour therefore varies by orchard, weather, and picking stage, from light streaking to full crimson.

When is the Malta export season?

The harvest runs from December to March, with the deepest colour usually in February. The window is shorter than Kinnow, so loading schedules are normally planned in advance.

Is Malta suitable for juice processing?

Yes. High juice yield and naturally red juice colour make it a common choice for fresh-juice outlets, beverage plants, and concentrate processing, alongside fresh retail sales.

What packing sizes are available?

Standard export packing is 8kg and 10kg cartons with count-graded fruit. Buyer-specified carton sizes, brand printing, and pallet configurations can be arranged.

Which documents are provided with a shipment?

Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and phytosanitary certificate are provided. Additional certificates or inspection reports can be arranged based on destination rules.
