Dear Ole Tyme Customers:

New contract juice prices will be finalized within the next two weeks. The juice industry is facing significant challenges due to a global orange juice shortage, with availability at its lowest in nearly 50 years.

  • Key Factors:
    • Brazil, the world’s largest orange juice supplier, expects its smallest crop in 30 years.
    • Florida and Mexico are also anticipating historically low harvests for the third consecutive year.
    • The scarcity of orange juice is driving up demand—and prices—for alternative juices like grapefruit and tangerine.

Expect higher prices across the category due to these ongoing supply issues.

Reminder: Order early and frequently to stay ahead of these challenges.

If you have any questions, please reach out to your Sales Representative.

Thanks,

Ole Tyme Produce
