Production
According to the 2006 Florida Agriculture Statistics Services (FASS) census, approximately 82 million citrus trees are grown on roughly 620,000 acres. During the 2006-07 season, Florida harvested 162 million boxes of citrus, representing about 70 percent of total U.S. citrus production. . Of the citrus harvested, 87 percent was processed into juice and the remainder was sold as fresh fruit. In addition to providing juice, processed citrus was used to produce other by-products, such as oils, fragrances, flavorings, and animal feed. The Florida citrus industry provided 21 percent of the states total farm receipts in 2005. - Millet
