About Florida Citrus
Florida Growers produce several types of citrus, including Florida Oranges, Florida Grapefruit and specialty fruit including Florida Tangerines, Tangelos and Mandarins.
Who We Are
The Florida Department of Citrus (FDOC) is an executive agency of Florida government charged with the marketing, research and regulation of the Florida Citrus industry.
Our History
Florida Citrus has a unique history dating back to the early 1500s.
Why Florida
With its subtropical temperatures, abundant sunshine, distinctive sandy soil and ample rainfall, Florida offers all critical components to produce a bountiful, high-quality crop. Handpicked at the peak of ripeness, Florida Citrus is sought after worldwide due to its juiciness and sweet taste.
The Growers
The real difference in the taste and quality of Florida Citrus stems from our dedicated Florida Citrus Growers. Most groves in Florida are family-owned and operated by multi-generational growers who work before the sun rises and well after it sets to bring the highest quality Florida Citrus products to tables across the world.
