Revenue from domestic orange-juice sales fell 3.4% to $248.3 million in the four weeks ended June 8, the report said. The average price per gallon rose to $6.22, from $6.17 in the previous four-week period.
Orange-juice sales have been steadily declining from their peak in January, when flu season prompted consumers to seek sources of vitamin C and buy 51.22 million gallons of the juice.
