Why Orange is moving
High confidenceThe New York wholesale orange market has seen a significant price jump, with cases now quoted at $46.00, reflecting a 16.4% increase over the past week. This sharp upward move is largely due to a tightening of available supply as the Southern Hemisphere orange season concludes, notably with South African Valencia exports to Europe ending in late September and overall Southern Hemisphere orange production forecast to decrease by over 8% in 2026. Concurrently, the domestic US orange season is in a transitional phase, with California's new Navel crop just beginning to ramp up for shipping later in October, and Florida's early varieties starting amidst historically low production volumes. Furthermore, Mexico's orange production for the 2025/26 season was negatively affected by heavy rains and tropical storms in October 2025, contributing to reduced yields and inconsistent quality that continue to impact current supply. Buyers should expect prices to remain firm until more substantial domestic volumes become consistently available.

Written automatically from public sources on 2026-10-06. Our own quotes are the supplier's; the causes above come from the sources listed.
What is in the case
The supplier states no weight for the SIZE ( CASE ) - 100 / 113 - SZ pack, so we quote it as a pack and publish no price per pound for it. That is a limit of the source, and the reason our figure stays comparable from one week to the next: a per-pound price built on an assumed case weight moves whenever the assumption does. Orange is quoted in seven pack sizes this week, from $9.00 for the 6CT to $46.00 for the SIZE ( CASE ) - 100 / 113 - SZ. The quotes are not comparable per pound — the supplier does not publish a weight for every pack — so we list them side by side rather than ranking them.

About Orange
Citrus is a deep line on this catalog and one where the pack format matters more than the fruit's name. Lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruit are all quoted by count size, so a carton of large fruit and a carton of small fruit weigh about the same and hold very different numbers — they are not comparable quotes even though both are "a case". Our reference data documents twelve-month supply built on a domestic winter and spring deal out of California, Arizona and Florida, with Southern Hemisphere and Mediterranean fruit taking over in summer and fall. The specialty lines — Meyer lemons, Cara Cara and Seville oranges, kumquat, finger limes — run on far thinner supply than the commodity sizes and behave differently.
Buying notes
Always quote the count: the wholesaler lists several sizes of the same lemon or lime at once, and the spread between them is a size gap, not a quality gap — the highest counts are the lowest cost per fruit. If your prep can absorb smaller fruit, that spread is where the saving sits.
