ATO Sao Paulo projects the Brazilian orange crop for 2018/19 (MY 2017/18) at 393 million boxes, a decrease of 27 percent relative to the previous season. Citrus trees are stressed from last year’s production and high temperatures in October 2017, which negatively affected fruit setting. Total frozen concentrate orange juice (FCOJ) production is forecast at 1.032 mmt, a significant drop relative to the previous year, (1.447 mmt), due to the expected sharp decrease of oranges for crushing. FCOJ ending stocks are projected at 45,000 mt, 65 Brix, a decrease of 115,000 mt compared to MY 2016/17, the result of anticipated lower product availability. The recent truckers strike is not expected to have a longterm impact on production or availability of citrus.
