The price of orange juice will be going up again after Florida farmers produced the smallest citrus crop in nearly 100 years . It was a tough year for the state’s orange trees, which were hit by bad weather and an epidemic of greening disease, which causes the fruit to be bitter. According to analysts, the US will not be able to lean on Brazil for more oranges, as that country’s production was also affected by bad weather.
Since orange production in Florida has been declining in the past decade, some farmers there are considering switching to other crops.
