Book excerpt: Excerpt from Citrus Processing in Brazil The fortunes of the Brazilian commercial citrus industry were closely identified with the fresh export market for many decades. In 1963, however, the creation of the first modern export-oriented processing plant added a new and profitable dimension to the industry. This development closely followed the 1962 freeze in Florida, prior to which the United States was by far the most important exporter of orange juice concentrate. Many countries, including Brazil, were encouraged by the high prices following the Florida freeze to establish or expand processing industries. While exports from some countries have declined in recent years as production resumed its upward trend in Florida, the production and exportation of concentrated orange juice in Brazil has moved ahead at an unprecedented rate. The availability of abundant supplies of processing fruit plus the ability to produce a competitive product has catapulted Brazil into the forefront as supplier of orange juice concentrate to the world's markets. An adequate supply of oranges for the Brazilian processing plants, almost all of which are located in the State of $50 Paulo, seems assured. Millions of trees have been planted in recent seasons, and nurseries are prepared to supply many more at least over the next 3 years. If yields improve as anticipated, the prospect exists for a very substantial increase in production. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
