Brazil ·
Citrosuco is a Brazilian citrus group that brings orange growing, juice processing, international logistics and ingredient supply under one roof. It was formed through the merger of the orange juice businesses of the Fischer Group and the Votorantim Group, and PSP later joined as an investor. Alongside its farms and processing plants, including one at Matão in São Paulo state, it runs its own maritime terminals, and its Evera business develops citrus ingredients.
For beverage and food producers, the main products are frozen concentrated orange juice (FCOJ), which has water removed to cut volume for shipping and is reconstituted later, and not-from-concentrate juice (NFC), which is shipped as juice. Other parts of the fruit are used too: pulp cells add texture to drinks, citrus pulp pellets are a feed ingredient, and oils and essences carry orange flavour and aroma. Owning terminals at both ends of the route lets juice move in bulk from Brazil to the import markets it serves.
Size of the business
Citrosuco exports to more than 100 countries and runs five maritime terminals in Brazil, the United States, Belgium, Japan and Australia. These are delivery destinations and shipping hubs, not farms or factories in each country.
Are FCOJ and NFC the same product?
No. FCOJ is frozen concentrated orange juice, while NFC is juice that has not been made from concentrate.
Is Evera part of Citrosuco?
Yes. Evera is Citrosuco's ingredients business, developing oils, essences and other citrus ingredients.
