Year
Source: U.S. Bureau of Census
Marketing year is December -November
U.S. exports of orange juice in marketing year 1995/96 (December-November) reached a record 92,127 metric
tons (65 degrees brix), 10 percent above the previous year’s volume. Export value in 1995/96 reached a record
$283 million, 4 percent above the previous year’s value. Florida accounts for most of the U.S. orange juice
exports. The orange juice market is experiencing an upward trend, due to increased demand for higher quality
single strength juice and strong marketing efforts by U.S. companies. Even though the U.S. product is more
expensive than the Brazilian product, the quality is superior and consumers are willing to pay for the “fresh
squeezed” taste associated with U.S. orange juice. Strong U.S. marketing efforts include opening distribution
channels and offering different product forms such as pasteurized products, plastic bottles, tetrabrik and juice
packed cartons. The European Union, Canada, and Japan are the major markets, accounting for 43, 27, and
12 percent respectively of total 1995/96 U.S. sales. The European Union has become a growth market for U.S
orange juice as sales reached a record 39,753 tons in 1995/96, 11 percent above the previous year and more
than double the level of 5 years ago. U.S. exports to Japan recovered this past season, boosted by expanded
sales of higher quality single strength juice, which can compete with lower priced Brazilian frozen concentrate
juice. Sales to Canada continue strong.
