The Jaffa Orange, first grown by Palestinian farmers in the namesake town, symbolized the once-thriving global economy of Palestine. From the 1840s all the way up until Nakba in 1948, the Jaffa orange was known worldwide for its sweet taste and thick skin. It was a dominant Palestinian export.
Like in many instances, however, western Imperialists wanted the Jaffas all for themselves. After the Nakba in 1948, Jaffa farmers were driven from their homes, forced to abandon their decades-old farms to Israeli settlers. Today, Jaffa farms still exist inside Israeli-occupied Jaffa, waiting to be revived when the day of a free Palestine arrives.
