PRODUCTION AND VALUE
Although the $879 million preliminary on-tree
value of the 2001-02 crop is 2.0 percent higher than the
$862 million revised value for 2000-01, it is lower than
the value of the previous seven seasons. The 2000-01
season's crop value rose 13 percent with revisions to the
processed portion. Total production this season increased 3.0 percent with the largest percentage gains and
losses in the specialty crops. More Navel oranges,
colored grapefruit, Temples, and tangerines were
shipped fresh. Processed utilization is higher for all but
the early-midseason oranges and limes. Preliminary
on-tree prices per box are lower for oranges and grapefruit but higher for most of the specialty fruit.
Orange production is up 3.0 percent and the
components of this third largest orange crop are the
second largest Valencia crop, an early-midseason-Navel
crop which ties last season for fourth largest, and the
fourth largest Navel crop at 5,500,000 boxes. The
weighted price is higher for Navels but lower for the
other varieties. Increases in the crop value of Valencias
and Navels offset the decrease in early-midseason fruit.
Grapefruit production is up 1.5 percent but the
price per box is 5.0 percent lower and crop value is
down 3.7 percent. Processed utilization of white grapefruit is greater than in three of the previous four seasons.
Processed usage of colored grapefruit is greater than
fresh usage for the third consecutive season.
Total utilization, price per box, and the value of
production is higher for Temples, tangelos, and both
categories of tangerines. Temple production is 24
percent higher than the record low of 2000-01. Tangelos
have the largest percentage gain in price and value. The
Sunburst variety comprised 81 percent of the early
tangerine category, Fallglo contributed nearly17 percent,
and Robinson and Dancy combined for less than three
percent. Honey tangerine production increased 10
percent. Record low levels of acid fruit were recorded
and the value of production is down nearly 70 percent
for limes and lemons. Production of K-Early citrus fell
25 percent setting a new low record, and the price and
value are down from the previous season.
Prices for the 2001-02 season are preliminary and will be revised next September when the results of all participation plans and pools become final. Revised prices are shown for 2000-01. The table on page 8 shows a breakdown of citrus prices for all fruit types by usage for 2001-02 and the two previous seasons.
Total citrus production (excluding limes and lemons)
increased 3.1 percent in the 2001-02 season. Four of the
production areas recorded increases ranging from 3-15 percent
but production fell 11 percent in the Southern area. The Central,
Western, and Southern areas produced three-fourths of the crop
and the Northern area contributed 5 percent. Citrus production by
Marketing District follows: Indian River, 52.8 million boxes, 18
percent; Gulf,57.2 million boxes, 20 percent; and SunRidge,
177.0 million boxes, 62 percent.
Production declined in each county in the Southern area
which includes the Gulf Citrus District (Charlotte, Collier,
Glades, Hendry, and Lee) but rose in almost all of the other
counties. Polk County leads with 39.1 million boxes of citrus and
is the top orange, tangerine, and tangelo producer. Henry ranks
second with 32.2 million boxes and leads in Valencia oranges and
Temples. Highlands, St. Lucie, and DeSoto round out the top five
counties.
St. Lucie continues to lead in grapefruit production with 17.6
million boxes followed by Indian River with 12.1 million boxes.
Together they account for 64 percent of the Florida grapefruit.
Forty percent of the grapefruit crop was white and 60 percent
colored.
Polk produced 25 percent of the specialty crops. Sixty percent
of the K-Early Citrus was harvested in Lake which was second in
production of tangerines and tangelos. St. Lucie and Palm Beach
each produced over 200,000 boxes of Temples.
Estimates of county production are prepared from objective
survey data used in forecasting citrus crop production. The
apportionment of final harvest to the counties is based on bearing
trees from the biennial Commercial Census Inventory; the limb
count survey, which provides an estimate of the average fruit per
tree; and the drop and size surveys, which provide estimates of
the amount of fruit on the tree available at harvest, and the size of
the fruit at that time. The size of the samples used in these
surveys and the distribution of the sample groves around the state
are chosen to minimize the error in the state level forecast of
production. For this reason, county estimates of production are
not to be considered as accurate as state or area level estimates.
The Florida Agricultural Statistics Service conducts
objective surveys to determine fruit per tree, average sizes, and droppage
between August and maturity. These data are used to estimate production per
tree for each of four types of citrus fruit, as shown in the following tables.
The estimates of production per tree are based on official
end-of-season production estimates and the number of bearing trees indicated bythe citrus tree
inventory surveys. The averages of boxes per tree for age groups shown are calculated from
estimates of fruit per tree in August, size at maturity, and drop between August and
maturity.
Additionally, the boxes are subdivided by production areas.
Estimated boxes by types and age groups are weighted averages of the indicated seasons. Small
sample sizes in some age/area cells and rounding may contribute to inconsistent averages.
