The USDA estimated that the state would produce 16 million of 90-pound boxes of oranges for the year rather than 18 million boxes as estimated in January.<\/p>\n<p> California, by comparison, is on course to produce an estimated 46.1 million boxes of oranges in the 2022-2023 season, broadly in line with the number produced in that state the year before. The U.S. is forecast to produce 63.25 million boxes of oranges in the 2022-2023 season, according to the latest estimates released in February, down from 81.65 million boxes in 2021-2022.<\/p>\n<p>Hurricane Ian, which ravaged large swaths of the Florida coastline in 2022, took its toll on the state\u2019s citrus farmers, resulting in the smallest orange crop since 1937.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Orange juice is a common offering in U.S. public schools, particularly as part of school breakfast programs, which permit pasteurized, 100% fruit juice to make up as much as half of the fruit servings offered over a week, according to a spokesperson at the School Nutrition Association, a national nonprofit representing 50,000 members providing school meals.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If the price for orange juice continues to rise, it could be an extra burden to consumers, especially for schools and hospitals, said Curt Covington, senior director of partner relations at A<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gAme<\/a>rica Lending, a national agriculture and infrastructure lender. In some respects, orange juice risks turning from a refrigerator \u201cstaple\u201d to a \u201cluxury item,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Thus far, no members of the School Nutrition Association have voiced concerns about orange juice, but a spokesperson said rising prices are a problem across the board for schools that aim to meet the nutrition needs of students. Among directors of school-meal programs nationwide 88.5% indicated that costs are a significant challenge, according to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/schoolnutrition.org\/sna-news\/sna-survey-shows-school-meal-programs-face-critical-challenges\/\" class=\"icon none\">the organization\u2019s 2023 survey<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div id=\"cx-membership-tile\"><\/div>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_impact_of_extreme_weather_and_disease\"><\/span><strong>The impact of extreme weather and disease<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<p>Extreme weather and disease presented a double-whammy for citrus farmers in Florida. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cCitrus greening (also known as Huanglongbing or HLB) is a disease spread by an insect called the Asian citrus psyllid,\u201d according to the Florida Department of Citrus (FDOC), the state agency in charge of regulating, researching and marketing the state\u2019s orange, mandarin and grapefruit industry.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe psyllid feeds on the stems and leaves of the trees, infecting the trees with the bacteria that causes citrus greening,\u201d it adds. \u201cGreening impairs the tree\u2019s ability to take in nourishment, ultimately resulting in fewer and smaller fruit over time. Once a tree is infected, there is no cure. Greening slows the flow of nutrients, impairing the tree\u2019s ability to properly mature, resulting, in some cases, in smaller and sour tasting fruit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adding to these troubles: Hurricane Ian and other tropical storms in 2022 affected more than 375,000 acres devoted to commercial citrus growing in Florida, the government department added. That translates to a loss of between 8% and 11% of the state\u2019s citrus trees.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis month\u2019s crop forecast serves as a testament to the hardships Florida citrus growers continue to face and battle through,\u201d the department in a statement this month. \u201cIt\u2019s no secret that Hurricane Ian and Hurricane Nicole left the heart of the citrus country with a long road to recovery, but Florida growers have worked to recover from extreme weather before, and this year is no exception. \u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The two hurricanes caused a lot of damage to the fruit on the trees, Covington added. It also hurt some of the orange buds that would have become flowers and fruits for the next fruit season, he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Orange trees are different from some other kinds of fruit trees in that they bear the current crop and simultaneously start pushing out new buds for the spring and summer, Covington said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That means there are questions about next season\u2019s orange crop, as well\u00a0 \u2014 and about the prices that customers will ultimately pay for oranges and orange juice. \u201cWe\u2019re not going to know until we get the 2023 bloom and just see what kind of crop is on that tree,\u201d Covington said.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"California_versus_Florida_oranges\"><\/span><strong>California versus Florida oranges<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<p>While most California oranges are grown for the fresh-fruit market, almost all Florida oranges \u2014 about 94% \u2014 are made into juice, according to FDOC data. And based on the production forecast for this year, Florida expects to account for 60% to 65% of the domestic production of orange juice.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Because of the short supply of fresh orange juice, the price of frozen orange-juice concentrate has also risen.
