I bet… Florida, obviously! Orange juice!
2Answer
The real order is…
    California produces about 2.2× as much as #2 Florida!
    📚 Background Plot twist: California is now the orange champion. Florida led for decades, but a citrus tree disease (citrus greening) has badly hurt its groves in recent years. Florida oranges mostly become juice; California's are mostly eaten fresh. (USDA NASS Quick Stats)
