           Citrus Production 1 Percent Higher in 1995-96                        
                                                                                
Citrus production for the 1995-96 season totaled 16.0 million tons, 1 percent   
more than the previous season and 10 percent higher than the 1993-94 season.    
The 1995-96 crop is the second largest on record due primarily to very good     
Florida and California orange production and Florida's large grapefruit crop.   
Florida orange production was the third highest on record, down 1 percent from  
last year.  A 6 percent increase in acreage was offset by a decreased yield     
per acre resulting in the slightly smaller Florida orange crop.  Orange         
production in California was up 18 percent from last season.  Orange acreage    
increased 3 percent in California and yield per acre broke its downward trend,  
rising 15 percent.  The California Navel orange crop was up 9 percent from      
last year's crop.  Texas orange and grapefruit acreage continued to increase    
from the December 1989 freeze, but production was down for both Texas citrus    
crops.  Arizona lemon, orange, and grapefruit acreage was down from a year      
ago, but lemon and orange production was higher.                                
                                                                                
In the 1995-96 season, Florida accounted for 74 percent of the U.S. citrus      
production, California totaled 23 percent, Arizona produced 2 percent, and      
Texas accounted for 1 percent.                                                  
                                                                                
                                                                                
                  Value of Citrus Crop Increases                                
                                                                                
The value of the 1995-96 U.S. citrus crop increased 10 percent from last        
season to $2.61 billion (packinghouse-door equivalent).  Increased citrus       
supplies and much higher orange prices resulted in the higher overall value of  
the citrus crop.  Value of production was higher for oranges, tangerines,       
Temples, limes, and K-Early Citrus and lower for grapefruit, lemons, and        
tangelos.  Total citrus crop values were up in every state.  U.S. average       
prices for early, midseason, and Navel oranges increased 6 percent to $5.93     
per box.  Valencia orange prices increased 23 percent to $8.38 per box.         
Although the grapefruit price per box, at $4.63, was slightly higher at the     
U.S. level, value of production was down due to the smaller crop.  Lemon        
prices, down 13 percent from last season, averaged $9.69 per box.  The average  
tangerines price dropped 7 percent to $14.13 per box.                           
                                                                                
The revised production and utilization estimates in this report were based on   
all data available at the end of the marketing season, including information    
from marketing orders, shipments, and processor records.  Allowances were made  
for recorded local utilization and home use.  Estimates for 1995-96 California  
Valencia oranges and California grapefruit are preliminary, since the           
marketing season was not complete at publication time.

       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 U.S. level for commodities with different state box   
weights are computed as follows:                                                
                                                                                
Fresh Market MYAP   =  (State Fresh Value * State Box Weight)                   
                       (State Fresh Boxes * State Box Weight)                   
                                                                                
Process Market MYAP =  (State Process Value * State Box Weight)                 
                       (State Process Boxes * State Box Weight)                 
                                                                                
"All" Sales MYAP    =  (State All Value * State Box Weight)                     
                       (State All Boxes * State Box Weight)                     
                                                                                
These formulas are also applicable to the calculation of the California all     
grapefruit MYA's prior to the 1993-94 season to weight the Desert Valley and    
other areas prices.  For commodities with the same box weights across all       
states, the U.S. MYA's are derived by dividing the sum of state's values by     
the sum of states' boxes.                                                       
                                                                                
U.S. value of production for a given commodity is the sum of the state's        
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 f.o.b. packed 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.
