Jaffa orange - Wikipedia
The Jaffa orange (Arabic: برتقال يافا, Hebrew: תפוז יפו), is an orange variety with few seeds and a tough skin that make it highly exportable. It was developed by Palestinian Arab farmers in mid-19th century Ottoman Palestine, and takes its name from the city of Jaffa where it was first produced for export.[1][2]
During the initial Jewish immigration to Palestine, the business of maintaining orchards and exporting oranges was an integrated venture of Jews and Arabs based out of the Port of Jaffa. Today, the Jaffa orange is one of three main varieties of the fruit grown in the Mediterranean, alongside the navel and bitter orange. It is cultivated in Israel, Palestine, Cyprus, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Turkey.[2]

Fla. doesn't have anyone to pick them anyway. They've all moved out of state or beeb deported
Are you ok?
You're quoting a wiki article that promotes Palestinian agricultural and confirms the existence of the historic state of Palestine?
Morocco already boosted their production to the maximum because they anticipates the higher demand from Europe and Canada.
Brazil, India, China, Mexico and Egypt are the largest producers of Oranges.
We can import from them.
We can import from them.
Palestinians existed.
There was no independent Palestinian state.
No it doesn't. It's a story about an orange.
Sometimes an orange is just an orange. But nice try in attempting to make everything about Palestine.
So many wonderful places we can import citrus from. Fuck FL and USA. We need to also certify Indian and Chinese pharma and start importing from them. As for steel, we need to decide if we are gonna reinvest in the latest Chinese tech or shut down the industry, Their new Plasma furnace tech such a quantum leap, no one can compete with it for making Iron. Maybe we just buy the pig iron from them and make steel from it and slaughter then US even with 50% tariffs.
This is all a F'n great idea..import food shit from China!?! Their garlic is grown in sewage, not sure how or why this shit is allowed in the country, supermarkets should be shamed for selling this crap! And now you want to import oranges from China? They don't grow in China.
How is that different from sewage being sprayed on the fields in Ontario? lol I have bought Chinese garlic, its very good. I said Pharma from China, oranges from LATAM. China grew 7.6M metric tons of Oranges .so you are off by 7.6M tons, thats quite a bit . I think you should use google more as you are clearly clueless. Mexico is an obvious source as well.
The chinese garlic is good?!? Sorry you have no taste buds (to match your brain cells).
even with 25% tariff...it's still cheaper to get them from Florida...unless you think there are no illegal immigrants to pick them because they've been deported...
Oranges perish faster than garlic...ORanges rot, garlic sprout...
logistically...it will have no difference...should we just do it anyways just to say fuck you to the US because you hate Trump and he runs US? if it helps you sleep at night...but when the brass at Loblaws, PC, Sobeys, Walmart work the numbers that's what will be the deciding factors...
Many Canadians are selling their Florida homes too. Higher US dollar, high insurance costs, hate Trump.
Yes the goal is not cheap Oranges.
The goal is to boycott the US.
Am okay paying extra for Oranges for that purpose.
