The numbers were released for the 2022-2023 Florida citrus season, and it shows a significant drop from last year’s season, 15.85 million boxes compared to last year’s 41.2 million boxes. This is the worst season that Florida has seen in almost a century: the 1929-1930 season. Hurricane Ian made a huge impact on the groves this year, and chances of next year’s season improving are slim as stressed trees are recovering and new trees are being planted.
