Brazil's FCOJ Production in 2024 Expected to End Early Amid Severe Raw Material Shortages

In 2024, Brazil's availability of raw materials for producing Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice (FCOJ) has significantly declined. Typically, FCOJ processing extends through December, but this year, due to the shortage, some processing facilities are anticipated to cease operations as early as the end of September. Others may continue until October before pausing production, with plans to resume in May or June of the following year. This disruption intensifies the global shortage of FCOJ and adds further complexity to market dynamics.
