Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for sweet oranges, general (storage temperature and RH depend on growing region; see variants). Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Postharvest decay is the main factor limiting orange shelf-life, so prompt cooling, gentle handling, sanitation and approved fungicides matter most. Highest freezing point: -1°C. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016). Growing region must be established before choosing between the listed temperature and humidity ranges.
