This document outlines the Florida Citrus Replanting Strategy, supported by a significant state investment of $140 million primarily for reset and replanting initiatives. The strategy aims to plant nearly 4.5 million new orange trees over a three-year period, restoring 25,625 acres. Key focus areas include dedicated marketing efforts to promote 100% orange juice and advancing greening-tolerant varieties through a Citrus Recovery program. Over a 20-year outlook, the strategy projects substantial increases in annual production, aiming for a total estimated net block income of $225.4 million for growers, emphasizing the critical role of both public and private investment and active grower participation.
