In North America, oranges rank among the top fruits, with winter being the peak season for consumption. Packed with potassium, vitamin C, fiber, and folate, fresh oranges are a nutritional powerhouse. While enjoyed fresh, the industry predominantly utilizes oranges for juice production. Consumption patterns of oranges are influenced by demographic, economic, and climatic factors. Notably, there's a discernible shift in North American preferences, leaning more towards orange juice. A USDA report highlights regional nuances such as consumers in the Northeast U.S. have a pronounced preference for orange juice, whereas those in the West favor fresh oranges. Meanwhile, the Midwest and South show a subdued overall consumption of orange products. Yet, buoyed by high availability, per capita consumption of fresh oranges sees a consistent uptick nationwide, especially in winter.

North America stands as a global powerhouse in orange production, with the United States leading the charge, trailed by Mexico and Canada. The Food and Agriculture Organization reports that in 2023, the United States solidified its status, dominating the global orange market with a share exceeding 20%. The United States Department of Agriculture reveals that out of 3.4 million metric tons of oranges harvested in 2022, a significant 59% were juiced, while the remaining 41% graced the fresh produce market. California, Florida, Texas, and Arizona emerge as the top orange-producing states in the United States. Notably, while Florida grapples with substantial losses from citrus greening, California's groves remain largely unscathed. The region predominantly cultivates varieties like Navel, Hamlin, Pineapple, Amber Sweet, and Valencia. Furthermore, the Statistical Yearbook of Agricultural Production highlights Mexico's orange production in 2023 at 4.94 million metric tons, marking a two percent uptick from the 2022. With a rising appetite for orange juices in the region, the market is poised for steady growth in the coming years.

Similarly, in the United States, the Florida Citrus Festival in Winter Haven celebrates the state's citrus heritage.
