HoneyBee Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 I make fresh orange juice every day and as far as I can remember my mom did to. I use to buy my oranges at the Chapala Tiangy for 9 pesos a kilo. When this market was closed I went to Soriana's. About 4 days ago it was about 14 pesos a kilo. Today it was close to 18 pesos a kilo. I buy a lot because I also make juice for my neighbors family. Just wondering why the sudden price increase.

Natasha Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 no.... FUTURES are based on market predictions of what will happen to prices a few months down the road, based on various criteria. Just read on a news page that demand for healthier foods, including orange juice, is driving the futures up. That has a direct effect on supply chains.......
