Brazil and Florida Coming to Blows Over Orange Juice 'Dumping' Charge

摘要

US Department of Commerce takes up complaint by Florida growers. If it worked for shrimp from Asia and Latin America, maybe it will work for Brazilian FCOJ too. Brazil saw its frozen orange juice exports soar last year, especially after Florida suffered a series of hurricanes. The United States will have to import a lot of Brazilian juice to make up for that. Florida growers have filed an anti-dumping suit against Brazil. That's what's happening between the world's two largest suppliers of frozen concentrated orange juice (FCOJ). The way Florida Citrus Mutual sees it, the Brazilians aren't just taking advantage of a US shortage to dump their product, but are trying to put the Florida citrus industry out of business.
