Citrus Value of Production – United States


Citrus Utilized Production Down 20 Percent, Value Down 7

Citrus utilized production for the 2017-18 season totaled 6.13 million tons, down 20 percent from the 2016-17 season and

66 percent lower than the record high production of 17.8 million tons for the 1997-98 season. Florida accounted for

36 percent of total United States citrus production; California totaled 59 percent, and Texas and Arizona produced the

remaining 5 percent.

Florida's orange production, at 45.0 million boxes, is down 35 percent from the previous season. Grapefruit utilization in

Florida, at 3.88 million boxes, is down 50 percent from last season's utilization. Florida's total citrus utilization decreased

37 percent from the previous season. Bearing citrus acreage, at 400,900 acres, is 9,800 acres below the 2016-17 season.

Utilized citrus production in California decreased 7 percent from the 2016-17 season. California's all orange production, at

45.4 million boxes, is 6 percent lower than the previous season. Grapefruit production is down 9 percent from the 2016-17

season and tangerine and mandarin production is down 19 percent. Utilized production of citrus in Texas is up 9 percent

from the 2016-17 season. Orange production is up 37 percent from the previous season but grapefruit production was

unchanged. Lemon production in Arizona is down 35 percent from last season.

The value of the 2017-18 United States citrus crop decreased 7 percent from last season, to $3.28 billion (packinghouse-

door equivalent). Total value of production for 2017-18 is lower for all citrus crops. Orange value of production decreased

9 percent from last season and grapefruit value is down 14 percent. Tangerine and mandarin value of production is

1 percent higher than last season but lemon value of production is down 6 percent. Beginning in 2016-2017, tangelos are

included in tangerines and mandarins for Florida.

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 2017-18

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 2017-18 season will be published in the April

2019 Crop Production.

Citrus Prices

Revised State and United States monthly average prices and equivalent returns, and marketing year average prices for the

2016-17 and 2017-18 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 2017-18 as shown on all citrus tables in this publication refers to the crop which bloomed in 2017 and

was marketed during the 2017-18 season. For example, the 2017-18 marketing year average price received by Florida

growers for tangerines and mandarins refers to marketings from September 2017 through April 2018. 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 33 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

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.
