"Oranges and orange juice About a third of citrus fruit production goes for processing: more than 80% of this is for orange juice production. Demand for fresh and processed oranges continues to rise in excess of production, especially in developed countries. The two main players are Florida in the United States and Sao Paulo in Brazil. Production of orange juice between these two makes up roughly 85 percent of the world market. Brazil exports 99 percent of its production, while 90 percent of Florida’s production is consumed in the US." en.wikipedia.org

I dunno, but I used to ride my motorcycle through orange groves on my way to play racer on the curves of Mt. Palomar, where invading aliens are always spotted in the telescope before arrival in old Sci Fi movies. Those oranges looked great, and they WERE great! I would pull over and swipe one right off the tree. I'm sure that made a big difference.

"There are "eatin" oranges and "juice" oranges produced in FL and CA." And Texas as well. The question is, in what proportions? The freeze in California won't drive up the cost of OJ in California beyond a small amount. But a freeze in Florida would. Oh that's true. I wasn't even considering frozen OJ; for me, it's a very poor facsimile of the real thing and so it doesn't exist. So yes, I suspect the frozen OJ we get here is from FLA, not CA. And a freeze in CA probably will only hurt those of us who buy fresh oranges.
