Orange Juice Is About to Get Really Expensive

If the breakfast without orange juice is like a really sunny day, we should be ready for some very dark days. The Guardian reported that Florida is experiencing the worst orange harvest from the beginning of the harvest record. The root of the problem (meaning meaning, momentary meaning) is in the tree (see, it has meaning), they are hit hard by disease - not to mention hurricanes annoying the province every year. According to the US Department of Agriculture, the orange harvest amount in 2016 is only 70 million, decreased by 14% from last year. Since the turn of the century, 230 million boxes of oranges fell on our glasses.

Due to this shortfall, the price of orange juice nearly doubled over the past 13 months. In September 2015, the Intercontinental Stock Exchange (ICE) Orange Juice futures price was $ 1.03 per pound, but soon rose to 2.05 dollars. By the end of 2016 this number is expected to reach $ 2.20

Orange crops began to suffer severe blows in 2005 due to bacteria that caused yellowing and citrus greening. Asian citrus siloids always had a whale swept across Florida through hurricanes to orange crops that were not destroyed by the wind.

To be fair, this is not the first time that the Orange industry hit. After members of the LGBT community boycotted drinks, in the early 1970's, the Florida citrus committee spokesperson Anita Bryant fought against homosexuality, fight against discrimination law, and the community as "species of sexually transmitted diseases" I expressed it.

In contrast, the bar at the San Francisco Tavern Institute began posting the slogan "I do not offer Florida orange juice or CONCENTRATE orange juice to promote human rights." People are frustrated when indiscriminate weapons are knocked down 2 to 1. "We gave up orange juice," they declared.

2016 is more kind to the LGBT community, but Orange seems to suffer from Anita Bryant's evil business. Judith Gaines, president of product survey company J Ganes Consulting, said, "People give up and turn to other crops, turn land into housing." Mix oranges with other fruits and water. "

But Florida Citrus Mutual Andrew Meadows is still full of hope. "We have experienced such things before," he emphasized. "We cleaned up the industry and did not give up the industry." At the same time, the proportion of mimosa may be slightly biased. Think again, we just drink champagne.

In addition to natural disasters, making top-notch orange liquids that are not Tropicana requires a lot of work (just a well-designed prank trying to convince you 100% juice when this is really nothing is). Most restaurants do not have the best quality juicer equipment that Citrus America offers, which can narrow down 20 to 40 oranges per minute. Instead, they need people with patience, muscle and time to squeeze out two or four oranges. The average cost per orange is 60 cents, orange juice glass.

When I think about Orange, I think about the night. I was not a fan of orange juice (I am like apple juice anyway), my family usually eats oranges after a meal. Look, they should not really eat dessert unless they are special occasions. Instead, after a meal we eat fruit. When I think about oranges, I think of the red light of the evening light of my grandparents' apartment. I remembered my grandfather, sitting in a wooden chair, wearing his formal pants, carrying a beater with his wife, peeling the oranges and handed me a slice It was. I believed that he could have this amazing power and make this easy. As the toes around his lips move around, he moves to me to eat more orange slices.
