Orange Production
 

Below is the São Paulo State orange production table with data from 1979/80 to the last season. São Paulo is Brazilian largest producer, responsible for 70% of orange domestic production and 98% of juice production. The orange production in other Brazilian States is estimated in 70 to 90 million 40.8 Kg boxes, from which 10% is used by processing industries for FCOJ exports and 90% is consumed as fresh orange by the domestic market.
There's a second table that shows the production data of the world main producing countries.

Volumes are shown as million 40.8kg boxes. On the right of each table there is a tool to convert the 40.8kg boxes into tons and vice-versa. You can use this tool to calculate a figure typed in the blank field or you can use it to convert figures included in the tables, by clicking on the amount and then clicking on the "calculate" button.
