Panchagarh's cooler winters suit citrus, and farmers have planted orchards of oranges and green-skinned malta in recent years. The fruit is juicy and tangy, and some orchards welcome visitors in the harvest season. It is a small but growing part of the district's farming story, alongside tea. Buying from the orchard is the best way to taste it fresh.
