**ALL ORANGES NOW 166.0 MILLION BOXES**

The Florida all orange forecast released today by the USDA Agricultural
Statistics Board is lowered to 166.0 million boxes. No changes were made
in the early-midseason-Navel category at 81.0 million boxes. The changes
were made in the Valencia category, now at 85.0 million boxes. In the
past 10 non-hurricane affected seasons, the February all orange forecast
has differed from actual production by an average of 3.2 percent, with
five seasons below and five above the final harvest.

A cold snap the first week of January dropped temperatures into the
upper 20s and lower 30s across the citrus producing region. Some areas
received minor fruit damage, but overall the effect was minimal. Slight
increases in droppage have been observed in the Northern and Indian
River production areas. The rest of the month was relatively warm across
the citrus producing region, with average rainfall in the north, and
less than average in the Central and Southern areas.

**EARLY-MIDSEASON-NAVELS 81.0 MILLION BOXES**

The early-midseason-Navel forecast is continued at 81.0 million boxes,
including 3.1 million boxes of Navels. Navel harvest utilization was
about 50,000 boxes weekly in January. The Row Count survey, conducted
January 29-30 showed some Navels still available for harvest.

Final size and drop measurements for early-midseason fruit were
completed in December. The Row Count survey showed over 55 percent of
the early-midseason rows harvested. This percentage is lower than any of
the previous ten seasons, indicating a later than normal crop. Harvest
hit its peak levels the third and fourth weeks of January, at over six
million boxes per week. Harvest should continue through mid to late
March before transitioning to Valencias. Estimated utilization of
early-midseason-Navels to February 1 is 54.1 million boxes, compared to
actual utilization of 51.7 million boxes the same time last year.

**VALENCIAS NOW 85.0 MILLION BOXES**

The Valencia forecast is lowered two million boxes to 85.0 million. The
primary indicators used this month are the size and drop measurements
obtained in January. Average fruit sizes are very small and are expected
to be lower at harvest than the minimum of the last eight non-hurricane
affected seasons. The current projected pieces of fruit to fill a 1 3/5
bushel box is 220. Droppage at 13 percent is consistent with projections
made last month.

**FCOJ YIELD NOW 1.62 GALLONS PER BOX**

The all orange FCOJ yield projection is increased from 1.60 to 1.62
gallons per box. Last season's final yield was 1.65 gallons. The
early-mid portion remains at 1.53 gallons but the late (Valencia)
portion is increased from 1.68 gallons projected last month to 1.70.
Last season's final yield for Valencias was 1.77 gallons per box.

**GRAPEFRUIT 24.5 MILLION BOXES**

The forecast of all grapefruit for certified utilization (including an
allocation of 700,000 boxes of other use) is reduced from last month and
is now 24.5 million boxes. The forecast is comprised of 7.5 million
boxes of **white** and 17.0 million of **colored** varieties. If
realized, this forecast will be 10 percent less than last season's 27.2
million boxes utilized.

The January fruit size and drop measurements used in the production
expansions are final. Weather for the month of January was variable,
beginning with cold temperatures early in the month and warming to above
average temperatures by the end of the month. Rainfall was very sporadic
in all areas. Overall, totals were above average in the upper portion of
the citrus belt and below average in the lower central growing region.

The first route survey (Row Count) for grapefruit was conducted January
29-30, and with harvest at 25 percent, is considered marginally usable.
Fresh shipments of grapefruit were just over half of the total amount
harvested for the month.

The **white** grapefruit forecast is lowered 500,000 boxes to
7.5 million. Average fruit sizes for white grapefruit were slightly
smaller than projected and are the smallest since the minimum attained
in the 1990-91 season. Droppage increased substantially, and at 18
percent, is above any of the previous 10 non-hurricane seasons.
Estimated utilization of white grapefruit is 2.2 million boxes compared
to 2.3 million boxes actual utilization the same time last season.
Direct to processor harvest is increasing.

The **colored** grapefruit forecast remains at 17.0 million boxes.
Average sizes were final at slightly less than projected, and droppage
remained the same at 12 percent. Although there was a slight increase in
fruit size from last month, it was not significant enough to alter the
forecast.

**ALL TANGERINES 4.8 MILLION BOXES**

The forecast of all tangerines remains 4.8 million boxes. This forecast
is comprised of 2.6 million boxes of the early varieties (**Fallglo and
Sunburst**) and 2.2 million boxes of the later maturing **Honey**
variety.

Early tangerine harvest is nearly finished and including the 200,000
boxes allocated for local and gift fruit use, totals slightly over the
forecast amount. Estimated production is 650,000 boxes of **Fallglo**
and 1.95 million boxes of **Sunburst.**

The **Honey** tangerine forecast is maintained at 2.2 million boxes.
Size and drop surveys are complete for the season. Fruit size averaged
slightly smaller than projected in October and is the smallest in over
ten seasons. Droppage at 34 percent is slightly below the previous ten
season average. Harvest has started with slightly over 300,000 boxes
harvested to the first of February compared to almost 500,000 boxes to
the same time last year.

**TANGELOS 1.3 MILLION BOXES**

The tangelo forecast remains at 1.3 million boxes (including an
allocation of 100,000 boxes for non-certified use), unchanged since the
initial forecast in October. Weekly utilization is tapering off and has
dropped below 100,000 boxes. Fresh shipments have been steady with the
decline occurring in processed fruit.

The Row Count survey indicated over 82 percent of the rows harvested
through January 30, leaving ample fruit available to attain the
forecast. If realized, this forecast will be the fifth consecutive
season below 1.6 million boxes, something which has not happened since
the early 1960s. Estimated utilization to February 1 is 1.18 million
boxes.

> Size frequency distributions developed from the January size survey
> are shown in the following table. The distributions are by percent of
> fruit falling within the size range of each 4/5‑bushel container.
> These frequency distributions relate to fruit from regular bloom and
> exclude summer bloom in all years.
>
> The charts to the right describe the relationships of the fruit size
> measurements with those taken in the previous year. The diameter
> measurements shown are the minimum values of each eighth inch range,
