**FEBRUARY FORECAST**

**MATURITY TEST RESULTS AND FRUIT SIZE** February 9, 2005

**ALL ORANGES STAY AT 162.0 MILLION BOXES**

The USDA Agricultural Statistics Board has released an orange crop
forecast for Florida which is unchanged from last month's total of 162.0
million boxes. Comprising the forecast are 84.0 million boxes of
early-midseason-Navel oranges and 78.0 million boxes of the later
maturing Valencia variety. If realized, this crop will be the fewest
boxes harvested since the 1991-92 season's 139.8 million boxes and only
two-thirds as many as last season.

In the past 10 seasons, the February forecast has differed from final
production by an average of 2.4 million boxes with four seasons higher
and six lower. Final utilization may differ from these forecasts because
of the extreme variabilities in average fruit per tree and assumptions
made on loss of fruit following the hurricanes in 2004.

**EARLY-MIDSEASONS REMAIN 84.0 MILLION BOXES**

The Row Count survey, conducted January 25-26, 2005, shows harvest is
lagging behind recent seasons. However, harvest has passed the halfway
mark and, at this level, is a good indicator which also supports the
current forecast. Although the December size and drop surveys provided
the final components used in the forecast preparation, a follow-up
survey was conducted in January and the results

show that fruit continued to size at an average rate. Droppage, above
the maximum of the past ten seasons, did slow in the past month and
finished below record for this point in time.

The **Navel** portion of the forecast is continued at 2.5 million boxes.
Certified utilization through January 30 is 1.8 million boxes. It is
anticipated that less than the allocated 1.0 million boxes will be used
in gift fruit and local sales.

**VALENCIAS REMAIN AT 78.0 MILLION BOXES**

The growth rate increased during the past month and the fruit size is
projected to reach a near average size, requiring three fewer pieces to
fill a 90 pound equivalent box. There has been an increase in the drop
rate in the last month. However, if the droppage continues at an average
pace through the final survey, it is projected that 21 percent will be
lost prior to harvest. Although not a record level for a non-freeze
year, it is the highest since 1990-91. Limited harvest for fresh use has
begun.

**FCOJ YIELD 1.58 GALLONS PER BOX**

The all orange projected FCOJ yield is increased to 1.58 gallons per box
from 1.56 last month. The early-midseason portion rose to 1.52 gallons
per box from 1.50 and the late portion climbed to 1.66 from 1.63. Both
the all orange and early-midseason projections are higher than last
season's final yields of 1.56 gallons (all oranges) and 1.45
(early-midseason fruit). However, the late maturing Valencias yielded
1.69 gallons per box in 2003-04.

**GRAPEFRUIT 13.0 MILLION BOXES**

The Florida forecast of grapefruit for certified utilization (including
an allocation of 700,000 boxes of gift fruit and local sales) is
maintained at 13.0 million boxes. Making up the forecast is 3.0 million
boxes of white grapefruit and 10.0 million boxes of colored varieties,
both unchanged from last month. If realized, this forecast will be 68
percent less than harvested last season, and the lowest since the
1935-36 season. Assumptions are made based on the fruit per tree number
published in the October forecast. Final utilization could differ from
the forecast if the fruit per tree due to initial fruit loss from the
hurricanes is different than projected.

The fruit size and drop measurements obtained in January are the primary
indicators for the February grapefruit forecast. Average fruit size and
drop projections for grapefruit are final for this month's forecast.

The **white** grapefruit forecast remains at 3.0 million boxes. Compared
to last month, projected size is larger and the projected drop rate is
higher. The two factors offset each other in total box expansion.
Estimated utilization to February 1 is 1.7 million boxes, compared to
4.2 million boxes the same time last year.

The **colored** grapefruit forecast is maintained at 10.0 million boxes.
Compared to last month, the projected size is larger, and the drop rate
is higher. The two offsetting factors indicate the current forecast will
still be realized. Estimated utilization to February 1 is 4.7 million
boxes, compared to 11.2 million boxes the same time last year.

**ALL TANGERINES REMAIN AT**

**4.5 MILLION BOXES**

The forecast of all tangerines is continued at 4.5 million boxes.
Forecast for the early varieties (**Fallglo and Sunburst**) is 2.5
million boxes and the later maturing **Honey** variety is 2.0 million
boxes.

The forecast of utilization for early tangerines is unchanged at 2.5
million boxes. **Fallglo** tangerine harvest is complete at slightly
more than 650,000 boxes including other use and **Sunburst** tangerines
estimated utilization to February 1 is just over 1.8 million boxes,
including 150,000 boxes for other use. Early tangerine harvest is near
complete with an estimated 11,000 boxes harvested the last week of
January.

The **Honey** tangerine forecast is unchanged at 2.0 million boxes, down
200,000 boxes from the initial forecast set in October. The final size
is slightly higher than projected last month and final drop realized is
more than 53 percent, up from the projected 50 percent last month.
Although not the highest drop, this year's drop is higher than nine of
the last ten years.

**TEMPLES REMAIN AT 700,000 BOXES**

The Temple forecast is still 700,000 boxes. If attained, this will be
the smallest amount since forecasting Temples began in the 1953-54
season. Fruit size is up since last month and compared to the last ten
years is slightly below the average. The final drop rate for Temples is
at 22 percent, up five percentage points from last month's projection.
This final drop rate is higher than any of the past ten years.

**TANGELOS NOW AT 1.4 MILLION BOXES**

Tangelos increased to 1.4 million boxes, the same as the initial October
forecast. The increase was based primarily on estimated utilization to
February 1 at slightly over 1.2 million boxes.

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

Size frequency distributions from the January size survey are shown in
the table below. The distributions are by percent of fruit falling
within the size range of each 4/5-bushel container. Fruit sizes were
measured on trees in sample groves during the period January 5 through
24, 2005. Comparable sizes for 2003 and 2004 are also shown. These
measurements are of fruit from spring bloom and exclude summer bloom in
all seasons.
