It was the Dukes!
Where is Beeks ?
Climate change!
Who would have guessed?....…
I haven’t noticed a big increase in OJ prices. I pay $3.18 for the half gallon of Minute Maid.
once it’s in the news it’s usually time to sell ... just lumber a couple of years ago ...
A bunch that of lies. Notice how every glass of OJ from the same company always taste the same? It is because they use flavor packets. To preserve the juice for long term storage they remove all the oxygen which removes all the flavor. They add flavor back in via flavor packets
Florida man!
More climate nonsense
Orange production is down drastically in Florida because
1) citrus canker, which has infected FL orange trees for 15+ years
2) development - farmers selling out old groves for development
3) low carb/low sugar diets. Americans just don’t drink OJ like they used too.
4) Brazil - cheaper cost to produce, huge imports into USA (and they also suffer canker, just less)
I was in Spain.
In southern Spain they use orange trees to line streets.
I noticed no sign of citrus greening.
The oranges are not they type we would eat, but they look the same.
The Spanish trees might be suitable for rootstocks.
Last year someone here posted a link for genetically modified trees, but the trees were sold out.
One would think that global warming would enhance orange production. Orange trees hate cold weather. On cold winter days in Southern California, orange growers used smudge pots—small furnaces that burned crude oil—to produce thick smoke to prevent the temperature in their orange groves from falling below freezing, which would kill the trees. But the smudge pots would also pollute the air. Orange groves also featured mechanical fans that would keep the air moving so as to prevent freezing.
No mention of inflation. Xiden printing a couple $trillion in a matter of months and then spending it. Marxist propaganda, nothing to see here folks.
No it is an invasive pest from Asia
Diaphorina citri, the Asian citrus psyllid, is a sap-sucking, hemipteran bug now in the taxonomic family Psyllidae. It is one of two confirmed vectors of citrus greening disease. It has a wide distribution in southern Asia and has spread to other citrus growing regions
It has wiped out Florida citrus. Has nothing to do with climate change
Climate Change, the most powerful religion on the planet...
no prob here in North Florida. go out to the yard, collect citrus, squeeze, drink. no problem.
No, they just shouldn’t have cut down all those trees.
With global warming, they should just plant orange trees on the vacant lots in Detroit. Anyone opposed to that idea needs to be cancelled as a climate change denier.
Somebody line me up a federal grant to get me started.
Given the effect a glass of OJ has on your blood sugar, it’s a horrible way to start your day anyway.
Oranges grow in hot climates.
Global warming (if it existed, which I do not believe) would therefore help.
Some price rise there, but not dramatic.
