Trump's exclusion of orange juice from recently announced tariffs raises questions amidst a lawsuit from Johanna Beverage Company. This company is a leading supplier in the orange juice market, and claims that such tariffs would negatively affect both plaintiffs and American consumers. Brazil holds a significant position as the top orange juice producer and a major supplier to the U.S., providing more than half of the orange juice sold in the country. The decision not to impose tariffs on orange juice, while doing so for other products, suggests strategic trade considerations.
Johanna Foods and Johanna Beverage are the leading private label and co-pack juice supplier and producer, supplying juice products for numerous retailers and brands, including Aldi, Walmart, Sam's Club, Wegman's, Safeway and Albertsons.
The President's imposition of a 50% (or more) tariff on Brazilian orange juice will cause significant and direct financial harm to Plaintiffs and to American consumers.
Brazil is the world's leading producer of orange juice and is the second largest supplier of orange juice to the United States.
Currently, more than half of the orange juice sold in the United States comes from Brazil, with eighty percent of NFCOJ imported from Brazil.
