The 2023-2024 citrus season brings a mixed forecast for California’s citrus industry, with both opportunities and challenges. According to recent reports, orange production in California is expected to rise, with increases in both Valencia and non-Valencia varieties. The forecast for all oranges in California now stands at 45.8 million boxes, which is more than double Florida’s production for the same season.
However, the lemon industry in California faces a downturn. The forecast has dropped from 23 million boxes in the previous season to 20 million boxes. Despite this decrease, California’s grapefruit production is seeing a slight increase, projected to rise from 3.5 million to 3.8 million boxes.
This fluctuation in production highlights the importance of working with a reliable supplier like PJ Citrus, which is positioned to adapt and respond quickly to market changes.
