Excerpt from Fruit Situation: Tfs-146, January 1963

In salvaging Florida citrus fruit following the freeze, emphasis was put on saving oranges, which were speeded to processing plants and made pri marily into canned single-strength juice and frozen concentrate. By January 5 of the 1962-63 season, output of canned juice was about 52 percent above a year earlier and that of frozen concentrate was up 26 percent. Packers' stocks of both items also were up sharply. Because of the deep cut in the Valencia crop, output of canned juice and frozen concentrate next spring, especially the concentrate, is expected to be down considerably from the large volume last spring.

Year-end cold storage stocks of apples were 2 percent above those of January 1, 1962. Stocks were up considerably in washington and Pennsylvania, but down in most other States. Movement of apples of the 1962 crop, as of the 1961 crop, to processors has been heavy, resulting in large packs of canned apples and applesauce. Grower prices for apples on a national average basis have increased a little since October. In mid-january, shipping-point prices for apples in important apple States were generally around prices a year ago.
