Little Change in Orange Crop Forecast
WASHINGTON - Apr 10/06 - SNS -- Production of citrus fruits other than oranges is larger than initially expected, according to the USDA's latest crop report, which lifted the estimated size of this season's grapefruit and tangerine harvests.
The U.S. grapefruit forecast is 1.16 million tons, up 3% from the previous forecast and 15% above last season's final utilization. Florida's grapefruit forecast, at 18.0 million boxes (765,000 tons), is up 6% from March and 41% above last season's final utilization.
The white grapefruit forecast is 6.00 million boxes (255,000 tons), up 20% from March and 76% above last season. The colored grapefruit forecast, at 12.0 million boxes (510,000 tons), is unchanged from March 1 but 28% above last season's final utilization.
The comparison of current utilization to results of the row count survey is the primary indication used in setting the April grapefruit forecast. The row count survey conducted March 29-30 shows 81% of the grapefruit rows harvested. The East Coast has a higher percentage of rows harvested than the middle of the State.
