Abstract: Total grapefruit production is expected to increase in the years ahead as both bearing acreage and yield continue to rise. Utilization of grapefruit has changed greatly, reflecting changes in both domestic and foreign markets. Exports are likely to continue to increase. Larger per capita grapefruit consumption, mainly frozen concentrated and chilled juice, is expected in the years ahead while fresh consumption likely will remain steady. Average on-tree returns for grapefruit have fluctuated sharply from year to year, but over the time there has been an upward trend.
