Citrus Fruits 2012 Summary (September 2012)
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Citrus Utilized Production Down Slightly, Value Up Slightly
Citrus utilized production for the 2011-2012 season totaled 11.7 million tons, down slightly from the 2010-2011 season.
Florida accounted for 65 percent of the total United States citrus production, while California totaled 32 percent, and
Texas and Arizona combined produced the remaining 3 percent. Total utilized citrus production was down from the
previous year in all citrus reporting States, except Florida.
The value of the 2011-2012 United States citrus crop was up 6 percent from last season, at $3.44 billion (packinghousedoor equivalent). Orange value of production increased 5 percent from last season while grapefruit value is up 1 percent.
Tangerine and mandarin value of production is 6 percent higher than last season and lemon value of production is up
16 percent. Tangelo value increased 44 percent from the previous season.
Florida's orange production, at 147 million boxes, is up 4 percent from the previous season. Bearing citrus acreage in
Florida, at 495,100 acres, is 8,500 acres below the 2010-2011 season. This is the lowest bearing acreage since the
1958-59 season. Florida’s frozen concentrated orange juice yield at 1.62848 gallons per box was up 3 percent from last
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 2011-2012
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 2011-2012 season will be published in the April
2013 Crop Production report.

Citrus Fruits 2012 Summary (September 2012)
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Citrus Prices
Revised State and United States monthly average prices and equivalent returns, and marketing year average prices for the
2010-2011 and 2011-2012 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 2011-2012 as shown on all citrus tables in this publication refers to the crop which bloomed in 2011
and was marketed during the 2011-2012 season. For example, the 2011-2012 marketing year average price received by
Florida growers for tangerines and mandarins refers to marketings from October 2011 through April 2012. 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 United States level for tangerines and
mandarins, grapefruit, and oranges. See the Statistical Methodology section for approximate net contents per box at the
State level.
Citrus prices are based on weighted average freight on board (FOB) 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 picking, hauling, sorting, grading, packing,
cooling, marketing, and other costs from the two base prices. In some cases, this results in negative returns.

Terms and Definitions
Brix: A measure of the concentration of soluble solids in juice, mostly sugar content as well as salts, protein, and acid
content. It is a quality factor that helps determine when the fruit is ready for harvest.
Citrus crop year: Begins with the bloom of the first year listed and ends with the year harvest is completed.
Equivalent on-tree (EOT) price: Represents the PHD price minus picking and hauling costs.
Freight on board (FOB) price: A commercial price term that signifies a contractual agreement between a buyer and a
seller to have the subject of a sale delivered to a designated place, usually either the "place of shipment" or the "place of
destination," without expense to the buyer. This term indicates delivery will be made on board or into a carrier by the
shipper without charge. The abbreviation FOB is usually followed by a shipping point or destination. Reports from fresh
fruit sales organizations and from citrus packers provide data for an average FOB price.
Packinghouse door (PHD) price: The packinghouse door in generally referred to as the point of first sale. PHD prices
are calculated by subtracting costs incurred through the packinghouse from the FOB price. These costs may include
sorting, grading, packing, cooling, etc.

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 United States 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 United States MYA prices are derived by dividing the
sum of States’ values by the sum of States' boxes.
United States 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 FOB 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.

Statistical Methodology
Survey Procedures: Grower, packer, and objective measurement surveys are used to collect acreage, production, yield,
price, and value data. Grower and packer surveys are conducted by mail, telephone, and personal interview. Objective
measurement data is collected in citrus groves.
Estimating Procedures: Information obtained from the citrus grower, packer, and objective measurement surveys along
with administrative data is used to establish estimates of bearing acres, production, yield, price, and value. These
estimates are reviewed for errors, reasonableness, and consistency with historical estimates.
Revision Policy: Current season estimates are open for revision in April and August.
Reliability: The citrus grower and packer surveys are subject to non-sampling errors such as omission, duplication, and
mistakes in reporting, recording, and processing the data. These errors cannot be measured directly, but are minimized
through rigid quality controls in the data collection process and a careful review of all reported data for consistency and
reasonableness.
