Abstract: The U.S. citrus industry has been experiencing many challenges: pests and disease, labor woes, adverse weather, and foreign competition. Unless these problems are resolved, the downward trend in production will continue. To prevent this trend, continued support for R&D, removal of diseased citrus groves, and support for growers are needed.
