| The Florida processed orange industry has become more concentrated in the last two decades raising questions on competitive behavior, particularly with respect to the purchase by processors of fruit from Florida orange growers. The purpose of this paper is to examine the changes in market structure of the Florida orange industry at the processor as well as retail and grower levels. The results suggest that the increase in concentration in the Florida orange processing industry, as well as the increase in concentration at the retail grocery store level, has increased the likelihood of non-competitive pricing behavior involving these industrial sectors. |

| As the U.S. domestic demand for fresh grapefruit and grapefruit juice trends downward, the export markets become more and more important for the citrus industry. Prior research suggests that when studying export demand relationships, exchange rates play an important role. The purpose of this research project was to study the relationship between exchange rates and foreign demand for U.S. grapefruit juice. Monthly observations for the period from 1989 to 2007 were used in the analysis. The seemingly unrelated regression was used to estimate the demand equations for grapefruit juice by major importing country/region. The results of this study support prior research findings. |
