Losses of Up to 70% in Florida's Citrus Sector Due to Hurricane Ian

Due to hurricane Ian in the US, losses were estimated to be 40-70% in Polk, DeSoto, and Highlands counties from examining fruit on the ground, damaged trees, and inundated orchards. Up north in Orange County, the damage is minimum since it was not in the path of the hurricane. Currently, there are no Californian or Florida Navel oranges in the marketplace, so the wholesale prices of a 15kg carton of Chilean navel oranges in W40 at the Los Angeles terminal stood at USD 44-46 for sizes 48s and 56s. The price of a 15kg carton of Chilean Cara Cara oranges in the same terminal stood at USD 40-42 for sizes 56s and 72s. The prices of a 15kg carton of Chilean Valencia oranges stood at USD 37-40 for sizes 48s, 56s, and 72s, USD 41-44 for sizes 88s, and USD 43-46 for sizes 113s and 138s.
