Citrus fruit wholesale companies will have different resources and practices when growing fresh fruits to get large quantities of fruit with valuable nutrition. Consumers will demand what type of oranges, lemons, limes, or grapefruits they like best, and a wholesaler will produce more of that type in order to meet the demand.
