Loading Jaffa oranges at the port of Jaffa, 1935
Workers haul wooden crates of the distinctive Jaffa oranges across the quay to cargo ships in the port of Jaffa. The Shamouti variety, marketed internationally under the Jaffa brand, had been Palestine's most important export commodity since the late 19th century, shipped mainly to Britain and other parts of Europe. Both Arab and Jewish growers cultivated the fruit, and the port of Jaffa remained the region's central transshipment point until the port of Tel Aviv opened in 1938. Citrus exports were a major economic factor during the British Mandate period and shaped Palestine's image abroad.
