Orange Juice Prices Set to Leap as Milton Threatens to Mangle Florida’s Citrus Crop
Fast-approaching Hurricane Milton is expected to devastate Florida’s citrus-growing regions, which supply more than half of the U.S.’s oranges. As a result, orange juice prices are predicted to rise significantly for the remainder of the year and into 2025 due to the expected crop shortage. This situation highlights the broader impact of climate change on agriculture, as extreme weather patterns continue to affect commodity prices and food supply across the U.S.
