Economists with the American Farm Bureau are giving us a close look at how the FDA’s proposed regulatory changes could benefit orange growers.
The rule change would lower the required sugar content for pasteurized orange juice. New market intel shows that simple tweak could save the U.S. citrus industry more than $50 million a year.
More American-grown oranges would qualify for higher-value juice markets, cutting down on fruit being put into lower-paying outlets during low-sugar years.
The proposal is open for public comment until November 4th, giving growers a chance to weigh in.
