This value of production reflects a decline of over 30 percent from the previous season that realized a one percent increase from the preliminary to the revised value. Total production is down nearly seven percent with individual crops, except lemons, down from four to 64 percent. Price per box and value of production are down for oranges, grape fruit, and most of the specialty fruit. With orange production down four percent and the price down 24 percent, the value of production fell 27 percent. Navel production is down from 5.4 million boxes in 1999-00 to 5.1 million. More of the Valencias and Navels were used fresh with Navels comprising 59 percent of the early-midseason-Navels shipped fresh. The value of the grapefruit crop is less than half of values recorded in 1998-99 and 1999-00 but higher than the two previous seasons. Revised seedy crop price and value are shown for 1999-00, the last season such data are published separately. Grapefruit production is down 14 percent with processing amounts down more than fresh for both white and colored varieties. Lemon production is 56 percent higher than that of the previous season's incomplete harvest but produc tion is lower for the remainder of the specialty fruit. Following the record high season, tangerine production is down 20 percent to the fourth largest crop on record. Limes fell to a near record level after six consecutive seasons of increases. K-Early Citrus Fruit tied the record low set in 1997-98. This is the smallest tangelo crop since 1968-69. Temple production is the lowest recorded since the series began in 1953-54. Price per box of fruit is higher for K-Early Citrus, Honey tangerines, and the acid fruit (limes and lemons). Lemons, the only crop with increased production and a higher price, have a value significantly higher. Value of the K-Early crop is the only other increase over the previous season's. Prices for the 2000-01 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 1999-00. The table on page 8 shows a breakdown of citrus prices for all fruit types by fresh and processed usage for 2000-01 and the two previous seasons.

PRODUCTION BY COUNTIES Total citrus production (excluding limes and lemons) has declined by 6.5 percent in the 2000-01 season. Only the Southern production area records an increase (6 percent) while the other areas have decreases ranging from 10 percent to 15 percent. Hendry leads all counties with 36.3 million boxes, followed by Polk, Highlands, St. Lucie, and DeSoto. Once again these top five counties account for over 54 percent of the total production. Production by marketing district is distributed as follows: Indian River, 51.2 million boxes, 18 percent; Gulf, 64.2 million, 23 percent; and SunRidge, 162.8 million, 59 percent. Each of the Gulf district counties (Charlotte, Collier, Glades, Hendry, and Lee) has an increase. The only other county to record an increase is Okeechobee. Hendry's orange production surpasses 32.0 million boxes and Polk follows with 29.3 million. Over 25.8 million boxes come from Highlands and DeSoto contributes nearly 24.6 million. The top four producers account for 50 percent of the total 223.3 million boxes, third largest crop on record. The harvests of St. Lucie, the top grapefruit producer with 17.0 million boxes, and Indian River with 11.8 million total more than 60 percent of the crop. Hendry and Polk follow with over 3.0 million boxes each. The varietal breakdown is colored varieties 59 percent and white (including seedy) 41 percent. Utilization of the specialty crops is down this season with decreases ranging from 4.5 percent for tangelos to 64 percent for K-Early Citrus. Temples and K-Early Citrus are at record low levels. All tangerines are down 20 percent with a slightly larger decrease in the Honey variety. Over three-fourths of the early tangerines are Sunburst, 19 percent are Fallglo, with Robinson and Dancy constituting the remainder. Top producers of specialty fruit are the ridge counties of Polk, Highlands, and Lake; Hendry in the south; and St. Lucie on the coast. 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 Citrus 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 estimates of production and are not to be considered as accurate for the counties as at the state or area level. [map: Florida citrus production areas] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 by the 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 2000-01 season. Total bearing trees increased from the previous season for Valencia oranges but decreased for the early-midseason-Navel oranges and grapefruit varieties. With trees maturing, population increases occurred in in Age 3 (9-13 years) and Age 4 (14-23 years). Corresponding decreases in younger trees were noted for each of the fruit types listed except the youngest 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.
