Florida's citrus industry has experienced a decline of nearly two-thirds of its planted area since 2004.
All citrus varieties have been affected, with consequences for supply chains, processors, and rural communities.
Replanting and recovery measuresFlorida has committed nearly US$140 million to recovery, including US$104.5 million for research, field trials, and replanting through the Citrus Research and Field Trial programs and the Citrus Research and Development Foundation.
Replanting initiatives aim to keep land in citrus production and align future supply with market demand.
