Fruit crop each year from Puglia (4)

I believe the answer is:

ugli

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fruit crop' is the definition.
'ugli' can be an answer for 'fruit' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'crop' bit.

'each year from puglia' is the wordplay.
'each year' becomes 'pa' ('p.a.' can be a synonym of 'each year').
'from' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'puglia' with 'pa' taken away is 'UGLI'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ugli that I've seen before include "Tropical fruit" , "Cross between Seville orange, grapefruit and tangerine" , "Hybrid fruit, sounds nasty" , "Black/violet element" , "Hybrid of tangerine and grapefruit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
