Citrus Utilized Production Down 7 Percent, Value Down 15 Percent
Citrus utilized production for the 2008-09 season totaled 12.0 million tons, down 7 percent from the 2007-08
season and 33 percent lower than the record high production of 17.8 million tons for the 1997-98 season. Florida
accounted for 71 percent of total U.S. citrus production; California totaled 26 percent, and Texas and Arizona
produced the remaining 3 percent.
Florida's orange production, at 162 million boxes, is down 5 percent from the previous season. Grapefruit
utilization in Florida, at 21.7 million boxes, is down 18 percent from last season's utilization. Florida's total citrus
utilization decreased 7 percent from the previous season. Bearing citrus acreage, at 530,900 acres, is 8,000 acres
below the 2007-08 season. This is the lowest bearing acreage since the 1988-89 season.
Utilized citrus production in California decreased 7 percent from the 2007-08 season. California's all orange
production, at 48.5 million boxes, is 22 percent lower than the previous season. Grapefruit production is up
8 percent from the 2007-08 season while tangerine and mandarin production is unchanged. Utilized production of
citrus in Texas is down 11 percent from the 2007-08 season. Orange production is down 19 percent from the
previous season and grapefruit production decreased 8 percent. Total citrus production in Arizona is up 48 percent
from last season. Production of oranges and grapefruit is down 34 percent and 75 percent, respectively, but lemon
production is up 100 percent.
The value of the 2008-09 U.S. citrus crop decreased 15 percent from last season, to $2.74 billion (packinghousedoor equivalent). Total value of production for 2008-09 is lower for all citrus crops. Orange value of production
decreased 11 percent from last season and grapefruit value is down 14 percent. Tangerine and mandarin value of
production is 11 percent lower than last season and lemon value of production is down 35 percent. Tangelo value
decreased 36 percent from the previous season.
Overall comparisons discussed above are based on similar fruit types. The revised production and utilization
estimates are based on all data available at the end of the marketing season, including information from marketing
orders, shipments, and processor records. Allowances are made for recorded local utilization and home use.
Estimates for the 2008-09 California Valencia oranges and grapefruit are preliminary, since the marketing season
is not complete at publication time. Revisions to the utilized production estimates for all citrus for the 2008-09
season will be published in the April 2010 Crop Production.

Citrus Fruits 2009 Summary

Agricultural Statistics Board
NASS, USDA

Citrus Prices
Revised State and U.S. monthly average prices and equivalent returns, and marketing year average prices for the
2007-08 and 2008-09 citrus crops are shown on the following pages. Revised monthly prices refer to all fruit sold
in a given month regardless of the crop year in which the fruit was harvested.
Marketing year average prices refer to the prices received by growers for the entire marketing season for any one
crop year. The crop year 2008-09 as shown on all citrus tables in this publication refers to the crop which
bloomed in 2008 and was marketed during the 2008-09 season. For example, the 2008-09 marketing year average
price received by California growers for tangerines and mandarins refers to marketings from October 2008
through June 2009. In some years the season may vary a month or two, but a price was estimated only for those
months with sufficient movement.
Monthly and marketing year average prices are weighted by box size at the U.S. level for tangerines and
mandarins, grapefruit, and oranges. See page 44 for approximate net contents per box at the State level.
Citrus prices are based on weighted average F.O.B. packed prices received for fresh fruit and weighted average
prices received at the processing plant door for processing fruit. Equivalent returns for fresh and processed fruits
are calculated at the packinghouse-door level and on-tree level by deducting hauling, picking, sorting, grading,
packing, cooling, marketing, and other costs from the two base prices. In some cases, this results in negative
returns.

Marketing Year Average Prices and Value of Production
State level marketing year average (MYA), or price per box, for fresh and processed sales are the weighted
average of monthly sales that occur during a crop's marketing season, adjusted to the packinghouse-door level.
The "all" sales MYA price is derived by dividing the "all" sales value by the "all" sales boxes. MYA prices at the
U.S. level for commodities with different State box weights are computed as follows:

Fresh Market MYAP

=

Σ(State Fresh Value * State Box Weight)
Σ(State Fresh Boxes * State Box Weight)

Process Market MYAP

=

Σ(State Process Value * State Box Weight)
Σ(State Process Boxes * State Box Weight)

"All" Sales MYAP

=

Σ(State All Value * State Box Weight)
Σ(State All Boxes * State Box Weight)

For commodities with the same box weights across all States, the U.S. MYA prices are derived by dividing the
sum of States’ values by the sum of States' boxes.
U.S. value of production for a given commodity is the sum of the States’ values for that commodity. The State
level value of production for each commodity is computed as follows:

Fresh Market Value

=

Fresh Market MYAP * Fresh Market Boxes

Process Market Value

=

Process Market MYAP * Process Market Boxes

"All" Sales Value

=

Fresh Market Value + Process Market Value

Citrus prices are based on weighted average F.O.B. packed prices received for fresh fruit and weighted average
prices received at the processing plant door for processing fruit. Equivalent returns for fresh and processed fruit
are calculated at the packinghouse-door level by deducting sorting, grading, packing, cooling, marketing, and
other costs from the two base prices. In some cases, this results in negative returns.
