Little Change in Orange Forecast
WASHINGTON - Jan 12/07 - SNS -- The USDA left this season's orange production forecast virtually unchanged from December in its latest crop estimate.
The U.S. all orange forecast for the 2006-07 season is 8.12 million tons, down 9% from last season's final utilization of 8.90 million tons.
Florida's all orange forecast, at 140 million boxes (6.30 million tons), is unchanged from December but down 5% from the 2005-06 hurricane-reduced crop. Most of Florida's citrus growing areas experienced warmer than average temperatures during December but also received significant precipitation.
Early, midseason, and navel varieties in Florida are forecast at 75.0 million boxes (3.38 million tons), unchanged from both the previous forecast and last season's final utilization. The row count survey conducted December 26-27 indicates that 34% of the early-midseason orange rows have been harvested. Beginning with the current season, Temple oranges are included in this category.
