"Current rains are only creating a temporary shortage due to citrus greening and after a week or so, things are expected to go back to normal. It would not be cost effective at the moment to bring in product from another country."
There hasn't been a situation up to this point where wholesalers have not received any product, and for now it has just been a matter of a light supply. There have been no adjustments made to the pricing structure and prices are stable.
What has also helped keep the domestic situation stable is that a lot of the citrus which is being harvested is for export and has been receiving very high prices, offsetting the domestic prices during this temporary delay.
