The Florida orange industry braces for a significant downturn in the upcoming 2024/25 season.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) predicts a 16% drop in orange production.This decline will result in a harvest of just 15 million boxes, equivalent to 675,000 tons of oranges.
Several factors contribute to this gloomy forecast for Floridas citrus growers.The primary culprit is a bacterial disease called citrus greening, also known as Huanglongbing (HLB).
This disease has plagued Floridas orange groves for years, severely impacting tree health and fruit production.Adding to the industrys woes, recent hurricanes have battered the states citrus-growing regions.
The USDA has yet to fully assess the damage caused by these storms.
However, their impact will likely exacerbate the already challenging situation faced by orange farmers.USDA Predicts Steep Decline in Florida Citrus Production for 2024/25.

The USDA estimates that total orange production across the country will fall to 2.62 million tons in 2024/25.

Soybean production forecasts have been revised downward, although the harvest is still expected to reach record levels.In contrast, corn production continues to rise, with the USDA projecting the second-largest corn harvest in United States history.USDA Predicts Steep Decline in Florida Citrus Production for 2024/25The challenges facing Floridas orange industry have far-reaching implications.

They continue to explore new methods to combat diseases and improve crop yields.
