Florida TaxWatch released The Continuing Decline of Florida’s Citrus Industry. As of 2021, Florida’s citrus industry had an impact of $7 billion on the Florida economy and created employment for more than 32,000 people across the state. Despite such an impact on the Florida economy, the citrus industry has decreased massively in scale. Until 2021, Florida was the largest orange and grapefruit producing state in the United States. Now, it is California.
