Some researchers believe that the origin is in the part of Southeast Asia bordered by Northeast India, Burma ( Myanmar ) and the Yunnan province of China, and it is in this region that some commercial species such as oranges, mandarins, and lemons originated. Citrus fruit has been cultivated in an ever-widening area since ancient times. It has also been cultivated for the production and consumption of citrus juice.
