☆ Why orange juice is so expensive
  + stars: | 2024-07-31 | by ( Andrea Miller | In Dreajmiller | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
U.S. orange production has plummeted as the industry faces volatile threats from extreme weather events, an incurable disease and economic pressures. At the same time, orange juice futures have hit record highs. Florida has seen a dramatic orange production decline in recent years. Invaio is one of the companies researching and developing treatments for citrus greening. The volatility of these threats may cut into citrus harvest expectations, which leads experts to believe that higher prices for orange juice are likely to remain, at least in the short term.

Floridians face “potentially widespread” fuel contamination along the state’s Gulf Coast that could damage vehicles as Tropical Storm Idalia approaches and residents potentially face evacuation orders, state officials said a day after the governor declared a state of emergency for the storm. Fuel purchased after 10 a.m. on Saturday at stations at the Port of Tampa supplied by Citgo has a strong chance of being contaminated, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services said on Sunday. The contamination happened through the accidental mixing of diesel and gasoline, Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida said at a news conference on Sunday. “They put diesel in tanks that were supposed to be regular gas.”

"The mosquitoes are out there, and they’re biting," said Eric Jackson, the deputy director of the Lee County Mosquito Control Division.
