7 Citrus Utilized Production Down 15 Percent, Value Up 7 Percent Citrus utilized production for the season totaled 9.4 million tons, down 15 percent from the season. Florida accounted for 59 percent of the total United States citrus production, while California totaled 37 percent, and Texas and Arizona combined produced the remaining 4 percent. Total utilized citrus production was down from the previous year in all citrus reporting States except Arizona, which was unchanged. The value of the United States citrus crop was up 7 percent from last season, at $3.39 billion (packinghousedoor equivalent). Orange value of production decreased 5 percent from last season while grapefruit value is down 10 percent. Tangerine and mandarin value of production is 27 percent higher than last season and lemon value of production is up 62 percent. Tangelo value decreased 24 percent from the previous season. Florida's orange production, at 105 million boxes, is down 22 percent from the previous season. Bearing citrus acreage in Florida, at 476,300 acres, is 13,300 acres below the season. Florida s frozen concentrated orange juice yield at gallons per box was down 1 percent from last 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 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 season will be published in the April 2015 Crop Production report. Citrus Fruits 2014 Summary (September 2014) 7

17 Citrus Prices Revised State and United States monthly average prices and equivalent returns, and marketing year average prices for the and 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 as shown on all citrus tables in this publication refers to the crop which bloomed in 2013 and was marketed during the season. For example, the marketing year average price received by Florida growers for tangerines and mandarins refers to marketings from October 2013 through April 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 tangerines and mandarins, grapefruit, and oranges. See the Statistical Methodology section for approximate net contents per box at the State level. Citrus prices are based on weighted average freight on board () 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 picking, hauling, sorting, grading, packing, cooling, marketing, and other costs from the two base prices. In some cases, this results in negative returns. Citrus Fruits 2014 Summary (September 2014) 17

32 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 () 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 is usually followed by a shipping point or destination. Reports from fresh fruit sales organizations and from citrus packers provide data for an average 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 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 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. 32 Citrus Fruits 2014 Summary (September 2014)

34 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. 34 Citrus Fruits 2014 Summary (September 2014)
