Prices of organic Sicilian oranges: fair comparison and quantity discounts

Complete Guide

Organic Sicilian Orange Prices
Correct comparison of boxes vs. GAS, quantity discounts, price transparency

When comparing orange prices online, you often compare different realities: e-commerce selling 10-20 kg boxes vs. GAS with 80-100 kg volumes. Here we explain why our prices are not high when compared correctly.

1. It's not a war against GAS: they are different models

Box sales vs. bulk supplies: two different approaches

We also work with GAS and wholesalers. They are not "the enemy": they follow a different model, designed for:

  • Very large orders (tens or hundreds of kg)
  • Delivery often to a single point
  • Shared management among multiple families or groups

On our website, you act as a private customer of an e-commerce that ships selected boxes directly to your home. The service is different, the risk is different, the logistics are different.

2. How prices are communicated on many websites

"Flyer prices" that only apply to certain volumes

On several websites, the "headline" price is not for a single box, but for the maximum volume. Example:

  • For juicing oranges at €1.35/kg you need to reach about 100 kg
  • For a single box, the price goes up to about €2/kg with a minimum of 18 kg

Result: the customer compares €1.35/kg for 100 conventional kg with a 10 kg organic box, and gets the feeling that organic "costs too much."

3. Organic Navel Juicing Oranges: Our Prices

Clear pricing, transparent tiers, organic product

Here we lay out the numbers. Organic Navel juicing oranges (10 kg boxes):

1 box (10 kg)

€2.29/kg
Total: €22.90

2 boxes (20 kg)

€2.09/kg
Total: €20.90/box
(save €2 per box)

3+ boxes (30 kg+)

€1.99/kg
Total: €19.90/box
(save €3 per box)

So: if you buy 3 or more boxes, the price drops to €1.99/kg for a 100% organic product.

4. Why a correct comparison favors us

Correct comparison: not just price per kg, but also organic and service
Feature Other Sites AranceBio
Base price ~€2/kg for 18-20 kg €2.29/kg for 10 kg
Volume price €1.35/kg for 100 kg and above €1.99/kg for 30 kg and above
Type Often conventional Certified organic
Model GAS, groups, wholesalers Direct home delivery

For the same quantity and quality (organic vs. conventional), our prices are fair. With quantity discounts, they become competitive even compared to those who work with very large volumes.

5. Quantity Discounts

Automatic discounts on Navel and Tarocco (excluding mini)

Affected products:

  • Navel Oranges (juicing / eating)
  • Tarocco Oranges (juicing / eating)

Rules:

  • 2 boxes of the same size: €2 discount per box
  • 3+ boxes of the same size: €3 discount per box

The discount is applied automatically in the cart.

6. FAQ and GAS supplies

Why do your prices seem higher?

Many low prices refer to very high volumes. For the same quantity and organic quality, our prices are fair and transparent.
