Crop Nutrition in Citrus Production

Citrus production in the United States of America is located in three regions due to their conducive climates. Those areas include Florida, California (San Joaquin Valley and southern California), and Texas (lower Rio Grande Valley). Based on USDA statistics, 18.1 million pounds of citrus was produced in the United States in 2014-2015. Florida is the primary production area, producing approximately 54% of oranges and 64% of grapefruit. Approximately 90% of the lemons are produced in California.
