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.

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. [map: Florida citrus production areas] Citrus 2001-02 Summary 3 Florida Agricultural Statistics Service ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BOXES OF FRUIT PER TREE 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.

BEARING TREES Tree numbers shown below are forecast trees of bearing age for the 2001-02 season. Total bearing trees decreased from the previous season with the largest losses in colored grapefruit and early-midseason-Navel oranges. With trees maturing, population increases occurred in Age 3 (9-13 years) and Age 4 (14-23 years). Corresponding decreases in younger trees werenoted for each of the fruit types listed except the youngest Valencia oranges. Bearing trees in the oldest category declined from the previous season. Unidentified trees of bearing age are prorated to identified types by year in which set. Most of these are first year bearing trees which will be identified in the field during the next tree census.
