where does simply orange get their oranges from
Simply Orange Juice Company The company is a major purchaser of Florida oranges for its orange juice, but also imports orange juice from Brazil. Simply Orange uses a computer-modeled blending of orange juice sources, intending for the consumer to have a uniform taste year-round.[3]
Citrus production In the United States, most orange juice and grapefruit is produced in Florida, while citrus fruits for consumption as fresh fruit are mainly grown in California, Arizona and Texas. Smaller markets for citrus growth in the US originate in South Carolina, Georgia, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and the gulf coastal states, including Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia, as well as North Carolina. Independent cultivars are found in Kentucky, Virginia, and even Missouri, Southern Illinois, and far Southern Kansas. The farther north the range, the more seasonal the cultivation. [2] Florida produces approximately 100 million boxes annually (each box is 90 lbs).[3]
