Florida orange crop outlook drops as demand absorbs tiny harvest
Florida fruit experts report a very small orange crop already sold out on the streets at 150 to 290 dollars per box. Tree recovery progresses but restoring to a 6 million box era will take years. Managers cap 60,000 boxes as a possible yield, while next year may stay under 1 million. Fresh vegetables may surge, with cucumbers 1 to 3 dollars a crate and peas and beans gaining traction, as some farmers shift from oranges to diversify crops. Planting focus remains on lambs and pure bred animals for steady flocks amid cautious market expectations.
