**ORANGES NOW\
169.7 MILLION BOXES**

The all orange forecast of certified utilization, released today by the
USDA Agricultural Statistics Board, is raised by 1.2 million boxes to
169.7 million. The adjustment is in the Valencia portion of the
forecast, now at 86.2 million boxes. The final Row Count survey
conducted on June 25-26 showed fewer than five percent of the rows
remaining unharvested. Harvest of Valencias remained heavy throughout
June, with over three million boxes being picked the final week of the
month. Valencias will still be picked for fresh squeezed juice
throughout July and August. The early-midseason-Navel oranges (including
Temples) were finalized in the May forecast at 83.5 million boxes. The
Navel portion of the estimate is 3.0 million boxes.

**ALL GRAPEFRUIT\
26.6 MILLION BOXES**

Grapefruit harvest is relatively complete at 26.6 million boxes. The Row
Count survey indicated that 97 percent of the rows were harvested this
season. White grapefruit harvest was over by the end of May, while
harvest of colored varieties continued throughout June.

**SPECIALTY TYPES COMPLETE**

Tangerine utilization was 5.5 million boxes. The early portion (Fallglo
and Sunburst) finished at 2.6 million boxes; Honey tangerines finished
at 2.9 million boxes. Tangelo harvest was 1.5 million boxes.

**FCOJ YIELD 1.67 GALLONS PER BOX**

The all orange projection for FCOJ yield remains at 1.67 gallons per
box, surpassing last season's record 1.64668. The early-midseason
portion is final at 1.553351, and the Valencia portion is adjusted
downward from 1.80 to 1.79 gallons per box, still above the record
1.77415 of last season.

The table shows the production components used for the 2007-08 forecast
season. Bearing trees are estimated at the beginning of each forecast
season using the most recent Commercial Citrus Inventory with an
allowance for expected attrition. Revisions are made to the historic
series where applicable.

Fruit per tree is the weighted average obtained from the annual Limb
Count Survey. This survey is conducted during a two-month period
beginning in late July. Survey averages for each tree age group within
an area are weighted by the estimated number of bearing trees for each
age group.

Fruit size measurements and drop observations are obtained from monthly
size and drop surveys. The average drop percentages are from the
\"cut-off\" month survey which varies by variety according to the usual
harvest period. Average fruit sizes were also obtained from the same
survey period but have been converted in the table to estimated number
of fruit needed to fill a box.

These four factors are the primary components used in the initial
October forecast and in following months up to the \"cut-off\" for each
fruit type. The first two have the greatest influence on the forecast.
