Question

Why is the area around the Mediterranean Sea called “Orchard of the World”?

Answer 1

Because the region’s Mediterranean climate has mild, wet winters and warm, bright, dry summers, it is ideal for orchard farming, and the lands around the sea support a wide variety of fruit- and nut-producing trees and vines. This area produces large quantities of citrus (oranges, lemons, grapefruit), olives, grapes (wine), figs, peaches, apricots, almonds, walnuts, and more, with many products grown for local use and export.
