The fresh orange market share and competitiveness of the US and other orange-exporting countries were examined. The major markets studied were the EC, Singapore, Japan, Canada and Hong Kong. An economic model was used to study US orange export potentials, assuming that free market forces exist. Analysis of income elasticity showed that demand for US oranges will increase, particularly in Singapore and Canada. Analysis also showed that an inverse relation exist between US orange prices and demand. The study also showed that Morroco's and Spain's market shares will grow as orange import demand in the EC increases.
