Abstract: The risk associated with citrus production has been especially evident in the past decade. During the 1980s, Florida citrus producers have seen major freezes and dramatic price variation. Because one way to account for risk in the investment decision is to adjust the discount rate, this study presents a systematic method for adjusting the discount rate. Further, this methodology is particularly adept for accounting for risk differences between varieties of citrus.
