Can you help answer these questions

Unfortunately I do not think that ICE US/NYBOT has any mini contracts at all. Since your in England you could try a CFD broker - not legal here in the States.

Commodities - FXCM Support https://www.ig.com/au/commodities https://www.hotforex.com/sv/en/trading-products/trading_commodities.html HotForex has the widest section I could find with cotton/coffee and cocoa but none I found so far have Orange Juice. Interestingly, I asked a similar question 5 years ago: https://forums.babypips.com/t/like-fxcm-but-more-things-to-trade/55485
