Citrus Growers Back New Shipping Plan in Texas
A new Texas shipping control plan aims to stabilize citrus markets. Representative Homer Leonard of McAllen says the approach reduces distress selling by directing wires and quotations to set shipper prices. Bankers back the plan and short term loans are available to prevent price drops. The effort seeks to curb consignment shipping and improve picking holidays to clean floors. Texas grapefruit forecasted at 15.2 million boxes and oranges at 2.65 million for the season, down from last year but with hoped quality gains.
