Net Reduction in U.S. CitrusWASHINGTON - Jan 12/07 - SNS -- Total citrus fruit production in the United States will decline this season as gains in grapefruit are offset by dips in output of other citrus, according to the USDA. The forecast of the 2006-07 U.S. grapefruit crop is 1.57 million tons, virtually unchanged from the December 1 forecast but up 27% from last season's final utilization of 1.23 million tons. Florida's grapefruit production is forecast at 26.0 million boxes (1.11 million tons), unchanged from the December forecast but 35% above last season's hurricane-reduced final utilization of 19.3 million boxes (820,000 tons). Excluding the last two hurricane-reduced crops, this is the lowest forecasted Florida grapefruit production since the 1949-50 season's 24.2 million boxes.
