Prices are "controlled" by the industry. In short ... they charge
what they feel like they can get away with. Plain and simple .......
Besides .. they'll probably tell you that they have to ship the
oranges to Alaska for processing and then ship the juice to
China for putting in containers ... before it gets back to FL.

The hurricanes have wiped out alot of the orange crops the last few years. They are having to replant and start all over.
