Fruit Industry Has Competition The American, citrus fruit industry is confronted with increas- ing eompetion In foreign markets from foreign producing countries in which production Is toeing 1 stlm- I ulnled by the steadily growing! world demand for oranges and grapefruit, according to the Bureau of Agrieultm'al Economics, United 1 States Department of Agriculture, 1 following a world survey of the' sil tint Ion. "Outstanding points in the world! citrus fruit situation," the bureau i says, "are increasing 1 of oranges and grapefruit, with recent new plantings and large non-bearing acreages in a number of countries pointing to continued future expansion; an upward trend in consumption of both oranges and grapefruit, particularly grapefruit, in the United States and the principal importing countries, and an apparently fairly stable lemon production situation, at.

a level, however, that, necessitates the use of a considerable proportion in the manufacture of by-products." Increasing production and ex- port of oranges in the Southern i Hemisphere, especially the Union South Africa and Brazil, is re-j gankvl by the bureau as of special significance to California Valencia' producers, with whose fruit the Southern Hemisphere product coTn- petea on European markets. Also, continued large Spanish crops, together with expanding production in Palestine, Is considered to "leave little prospect for volume exports of American oranges to Europe during the winter and early spring." Production of oranges in the. United States for the present wea- son estimated by the bureau at 33,739,000 hoxes compared with boxes last season, and an average for the years of boxes. Of this year's crop. 70 per cent is in California and about 2S per cent in Florida.

About per cent, of the present total United States orange acreage is reported as There has been a imrr'eaBe in the consumption of oranges in northwestern Europe, in recent, years. Per capita consumption of citrus fruit in the United States is also on the Increase. Per capita consumption figures place Australia in the lead with a consumption of approximately 23 pounds of oranges per person annually: per capita consumption in the United States is 22 pounds, and in the United Klnpdom and Canada pounds. Consumption in NoVtlnvesteni Europe ranges from 13 pounds for Netherlands to 5 pounds for Sweden.
