Abstract

The demand for oranges is on the rise globally and in Bangladesh. However, despite having a favourable climate and soil, Bangladesh’s share in the global orange industry is still negligible, subsequently making the country a leading importer. Rising national demand, unstable international markets, soaring market prices and changing consumer preferences strongly justify the necessity for increasing domestic production. A 50 thousand-ha orange orchard could earn USD 1.5 to 2.0 billion from the sector by 2035, contributing to the global orange industry significantly. However, the commercial introduction of a new fruit crop is challenging in a land-scarce country like Bangladesh. This opinion article discussed how to increase national production by inserting oranges in the current cropping systems. A national citrus policy facilitating orange cultivation, extension, management, processing, and marketing is recommended. An innovative cropping system management and efficient land use policy can accommodate this perennial fruit crop in the existing farming system. The availability of suitable varieties, efficient extension services, modern management practices, government incentives, strong value-chain and agricultural land-use planning could help achieve the goal of a competitive orange industry in Bangladesh by 2035.
