Citrus Fruits 2015 Summary (September 2015)
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
Citrus Utilized Production Down 4 Percent, Value Down 9 Percent
Citrus utilized production for the 2014-15 season totaled 9.02 million tons, down 4 percent from the 2013-14 season and
49 percent lower than the record high production of 17.8 million tons for the 1997-98 season. Florida accounted for
56 percent of total United States citrus production; California totaled 41 percent, and Texas and Arizona produced the
remaining 3 percent.
Florida's orange production, at 96.8 million boxes, is down 8 percent from the previous season. Grapefruit utilization in
Florida, at 12.9 million boxes, is down 18 percent from last season's utilization. Florida's total citrus utilization
decreased 9 percent from the previous season. Bearing citrus acreage, at 459,100 acres, is 17,200 acres below the
2013-14 season.
Utilized citrus production in California increased 5 percent from the 2013-14 season. California's all orange production, at
49.0 million boxes, is 1 percent lower than the previous season. Grapefruit production is down 1 percent from the
2013-14 season but lemon production is up 9 percent. Tangerine and mandarin production in California is up 24 percent
from last season. Utilized production of citrus in Texas is down 24 percent from the 2013-14 season. Orange production is
down 18 percent from the previous season and grapefruit production decreased 25 percent. Total citrus production in
Arizona is up 12 percent from last season. Production of lemon production is up 11 percent and tangerines and mandarins
production is up 13 percent from last year.
The value of the 2014-15 United States citrus crop decreased 9 percent from last season, to $3.38 billion
(packinghouse-door equivalent). Total value of production for 2014-15 is lower for all citrus crops except lemons. Orange
value of production decreased 13 percent from last season and grapefruit value is down 17 percent. Tangerine and
mandarin value of production is 8 percent lower than last season and lemon value of production is up 8 percent. Tangelo
value decreased 3 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
2014-15 California Valencia oranges and grapefruit are preliminary, since the marketing season is not complete at
publication time.

Citrus Fruits 2015 Summary (September 2015)
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
2013-14 and 2014-15 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 2014-15 as shown on all citrus tables in this publication refers to the crop which bloomed in 2014 and
was marketed during the 2014-15 season. For example, the 2014-15 marketing year average price received by Florida
growers for tangerines and mandarins refers to marketings from September 2014 through April 2015. 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 oranges, grapefruit, and
tangerines and mandarins. See page 31 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.

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.
