Florida grapefruit
Florida is the leading grapefruit producer and exporter in both the fresh fruit and concentrated juice segments. This supremacy is the result of favourable soil and climate conditions for growing high quality tropical grapefruit, especially in the Indian River area, and the strong structuring of a sector with some of the most severe self-imposed quality criteria in the world. Nevertheless, since the 2004-2005 season, the sector has experienced the most serious difficulties of its history as the passage of several hurricanes has caused the recrudescence of plant health problems and especially citrus canker.
