For Professionals in the Juice and Citrus industry
Last Juice News of the week, but you will receive another, special edition tomorrow (or still today, depending on where you are…)!
🇫🇷 For my dear relations who are about to embark on a couple of days of daily metro commute to the stop of Parque des Expositions / Villepinte, I wish you a good Sial this year! I hope that the food, wine and business will make up for the local travel in Paris. 😉
In Today's newsletter:

The organization will educate and influence federal legislation through a clear code of operating conduct and sensible manufacturing and marketing regulation prioritizing consumer safety. The coalition represents a unified voice across key stakeholders in hemp and alcohol industries allowing for the accessibility and commerce of hemp-derived Delta-9 (THC) beverages through traditional retail locations.
The new organic, plant-based nutrition shakes are designed to support children’s growth and well-being with low sugar, complete protein, and allergen-free ingredients.
On Friday, the company said revenue for its ready-to-drink business declined 11% year-on-year in the September quarter due to unfavorable weather and competitive pricing actions. TCPL sells ready-to-drink beverages under brands such as Gluco Plus, Tata Fruski and Himalayan.
🍊 Citrus News
There are high expectations for the 2024/25 orange season in Cordoba, with positive initial prospects in terms of production, as greater volumes are expected compared to last year.
"The Regional Government of Andalusia published the production estimates last month, with data collected in August. For citrus fruits in particular, it is difficult to calculate the exact production, because the percentage of growers integrated in the producers' organization is not that high. In the case of oranges, it doesn't even reach 22% in the province of Cordoba."
The 2023-2024 Egyptian citrus season has got off to a good start, amid a positive mood and high spirits. Production is marked by a better distribution of sizes, whereas the previous season was marked by sizes that were too small. Volumes have increased, and the climatic factor is causing serious difficulties for the competition while having a positive effect in Egypt.
“We keep taking it on the chin, and we need a little bit of help. We need people to keep drinking orange juice. Keep supporting local farmers and such."
🔬 Research Worth Reading
The best response was achieved when explants were exposed to combination of BA (0.25 mg/l), Kinetin (0.25 mg/l) and GA (1 mg/l). This protocol significantly improved shoot initiation and growth, providing an efficient Finger lime micropropagation method. This micropropagation protocol promises sustainable Finger lime cultivation and commercial production. It ensures a stable supply of planting material and promotes genetic uniformity among propagated plants.
The research paves the way for improving Finger lime cultivation techniques and disease-free planting material development, boosting the productivity and economic viability of Finger lime production.
Florida-based scientists published an article in Microorganisms indicating citrus-derived endophytes have potential for managing HLB. Endophytes are endosymbionts, often bacteria or fungi, which live within a plant for at least part of its life cycle without causing apparent disease.
The authors of the article are Jessica Dominguez, Krishnaswamy Jayachandran and Kateel G. Shetty of Florida International University, and U.S. Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service scientists Joseph Krystel and Ed Stover (retired).
