However since the end of January it's only up 6% so it's a little early to be talking about an orange juice bubble. The main driver for the price move is the expectation of more "apocalyptic" weather patterns, specifically hurricanes.

From the AP:

Orange juice futures rose 3.3 percent Friday as investors weighed the possibility that hurricanes could disrupt the supply of oranges.

The price of frozen orange juice futures typically begins to increase as the hurricane season gets under way. Orange juice futures rose 5.8 cents to settle at $1.8285 a pound, the highest since late February.
