USDA’s Surging Tangerine Data
Oranges vs. Tangerines Per Capita
was 80/20–Now is 60/40 (and Gaining)
According to the USDA, the Florida tangerine citrus group “has soared in popularity, with per capita availability more than doubling between 2000 and 2022. This broad group includes tangelos, mandarins, clementines, and traditional tangerines. A comparison of per capita fresh tangerine and fresh orange availability over the last 20 years shows the share going to tangerines increasing from 20 to 40 percent.” The article goes on to say that growth of the U.S. tangerine market coincides with the launch of marketing campaigns for easy-peel seedless mandarins…”
USDA Says Florida Tangerine Production is Up
According to a USDA 12.13.23 report, “Tangerine and tangelo production is estimated at 550,000 boxes, up 50,000 boxes from the October forecast.” The same report also reports an increase in Florida Grapefruit, while “the USDA’s forecast for all orange varieties remains unchanged for the October forecast at 20.5 million boxes.”
