Why are the Sumo oranges horrible this year?

I’ve only just gotten my first batch of Sumos this season up here in Canada. They’re small but not awful? I was hopeful that they were going to improve throughout the season but now you’ve got me concerned

They are extremely tart this year. I was hoping they would be sweet this year but no such luck. Maybe they'll get better in February 2024.

The Sumos are not good this year (2024), they are hard to peel, not as juicy as usual, dry up cowards the top, not as sweet. BUT THEY ARE STILL JUST AS EXPENSIVE!

Safeway has them on sale $1.99 each but a limit of 3 and you probably need to use the all.

Real bad at Trader Joe's & never ripened. Bad crop. Hope I live to next year!

I've gotten one bad bag at TJ this year but many more great ones that everyone fights over.

Got some good ones yesterday at TJ in NoMa. They don't look as pretty as they sometimes do in the outside, but great inside.

Like all good things, greed has taken over and output is more important than quality so the industry has screwed the pooch just like they did with every other citrus product.

The last two bags I bought turned out to be moldy, so I’m considering the season over, sadly.
