citrus industry
Lemon and lime trade
The citrus industry encompasses the commercial cultivation, processing, and distribution of citrus fruits—oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits, and their relatives.
It includes growers, packinghouses, juice processors, and exporters.
Florida's citrus industry never fully recovered from the freezes of the 1980s.
Major citrus-producing regions include Brazil, the United States, Spain, and China.
