**ALL ORANGES TOTAL 158.0 MILLION BOXES**

The Florida all orange forecast released today by the USDA Agricultural
Statistics Board is 158.0 million boxes. The reduction of 4.0 million
boxes is comprised of 1.0 million boxes of the early-midseason-Navel
oranges and 3.0 million boxes of the later maturing Valencia oranges. If
realized, this forecast will be 7% less than last season's production
but 22% more than the production of 2006‑07. The February forecast has
differed from actual production by an average of 3.7% in recent
non-hurricane seasons.

Temperatures below 28^○^ were recorded for four or more hours deep into
the citrus producing area during the nights of January 21 and 22. The
monthly route survey on January 27-28 showed that 39% of the rows had
been harvested. A freeze damage survey also conducted on those dates
showed little or no damage at that time. Additional assessments will be
made in mid and late February. Results are shown on page 3.

**EARLY-MIDSEASON-NAVELS 83.0 MILLION BOXES**

The forecast of early-midseason-Navel oranges (including Temples) is
decreased to 83.0 million boxes, with Navels accounting for 3.0 million
boxes of the total. Primary indicators this month are certified
utilization and the results of the route survey which showed that 68% of
the early-midseason rows and 98% of the Navel rows were harvested.
Estimated utilization as of February 1, with an allowance for
non-certified fruit, is 60.2 million boxes of early-midseason oranges
which includes 2.9 million boxes of Navels.

**VALENCIAS NOW 75.0 MILLION BOXES**

The Valencia forecast is lowered to 75.0 million boxes. Objective survey
measurements for size and drop are the primary indicators used to
establish the forecast this month. During January, the growth rate
slowed and the drop rate increased. Changes in the projections for these
components have a negative affect on the forecast model. The projected
drop has been raised to 15% but the final measurement could be higher as
the affect of sub-freezing weather becomes more apparent. At the time of
the route survey, less than 1% of the Valencia rows were harvested.

**FCOJ YIELD 1.61 GALLONS PER BOX**

The FCOJ all orange yield projection is lowered from 1.62 to 1.61
gallons per box, coinciding with a reduction in the late portion of the
crop now projected at 1.65 gallons per box. The projection for the
early-midseason portion is held at 1.58 gallons per box. In
mid-February, special maturity tests will be performed on
early-midseason and late oranges to further assess any damage from the
January freezes. Any damage resulting from the freezing weather after
February 1 will be reflected in the March release.

**GRAPEFRUIT REMAINS AT 23.0 MILLION BOXES**

The forecast of grapefruit for certified utilization (including an
allocation of 700,000 boxes of gift fruit and local sales) is unchanged
at 23.0 million boxes. The forecast is comprised of 7.0 million boxes of
white and 16.0 million boxes of colored grapefruit. If realized, this
forecast will be 14% less than last season's 26.6 million boxes.

Weather for the month of January in the grapefruit growing areas was
variable. The month began with warm temperatures, dry conditions and
very little rainfall. However, freezing temperatures and much needed
rain passed across the Florida peninsula during the third week of
January.

Measurements of fruit size and droppage taken during January are
considered "final" for the forecast models. Size of the **white**
grapefruit is above average and slightly above the January projection,
indicating it will now take 85 pieces of fruit to fill 1-3/5 bushel box.
The rate of droppage has slowed over the past two months with final
droppage below both the average and the previous projection. Estimated
utilization of white grapefruit as of February 1 is nearly 2.2 million
boxes. Of the total, 37% has been shipped fresh. Results of the route
survey conducted January 27-28, 2009, indicate that 32% of the rows have
been harvested.

Growth of **colored** grapefruit slowed during the past month. It is now
slightly below the previously projected value but above average. The
droppage rate increased during recent weeks resulting in the final drop
rate slightly above average. The quality of colored grapefruit is
reported to be excellent this year. About 60% of the fruit has gone to
the fresh market. At the current projected fruit size, it will take 95
pieces of fruit to fill a 1-3/5 bushel box. Estimated utilization to
February 1 is over 7.2 million boxes.

**ALL TANGERINES DECREASED TO\
4.6 MILLION BOXES**

The forecast of all tangerines is reduced to 4.6 million boxes. The
total consists of the early varieties (**Fallglo and Sunburst**) now at
2.6 million boxes and the later maturing **Honey** tangerine continued
at 2.0 million boxes. Harvest of the Fallglo variety is over, nearing
completion for the Sunburst variety, and underway for the Honey variety.

The change in the forecast for early tangerines affects both varieties.
The reduction is necessitated by estimated utilization to February 1
(including an allotment for non-certified fruit) totaling just over 2.5
million boxes with harvest essentially complete. The forecast of the
**Fallglo** variety is adjusted down 50,000 boxes to 650,000 boxes. The
**Sunburst** forecast is now 1.95 million boxes, down 250,000 boxes.

**Honey** tangerines account for over 40% of the total tangerine
forecast and remain unchanged at 2.0 million boxes. The route survey
indicated that 21% of the available rows were picked. The size and drop
surveys conducted in January are the main indicators used in setting the
February forecast. Honey size continues to run below average and is now
considered final, taking approximately 268 pieces of fruit to fill a
1-3/5 bushel box. One characteristic of this variety is its higher
droppage rate which is above average at 43%.

**TANGELOS REDUCED TO\
1.3 MILLION BOXES**

The **tangelo** forecast is lowered to 1.3 million boxes (including an
allocation of non-certified use of 100,000 boxes). The Row Count survey
showed approximately 60% of the rows harvested, which when compared to
utilization supports this change. Estimated utilization to the first of
the month is 868,000 boxes. The size and drop survey data for tangelos
was final in November. It will require approximately 234 pieces of fruit
to fill one 90-pound equivalent box of tangelos.

**FRUIT SIZE COMPARISONS BY TYPES TO PREVIOUS SEASONS**

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,
except for the smallest values.
