Better stock up on your OJ. Or maybe you wanna get your vitamin C from a different source.The Florida citrus industry is facing a possible shortage. Though two different analyst groups came up with different estimates for citrus output this year, both numbers are far below the average production of 220 million boxes.
The problem? Well, where do we begin? As if humans simply taking over acreage for development wasn't enough, devastating droughts, horrible hurricanes, and a whole menage a trois of diease has damaged citrus trees. However, the true effect is difficult to predict. According to the article in the New York Times, "Until hurricane season ends Nov. 30 and the potential for a winter freeze passes next spring, the best prediction anyone can offer of how many oranges Florida will produce this season is an educated guess."
