Florida’s family-owned citrus industry is a symbol of the sunshine state. But, the reality is Florida citrus is on the verge of extinction and lawmakers aren’t doing enough to stop it. Policies that could help save the industry are stuck in limbo. If nothing changes, Florida-grown oranges and fresh, local orange juice could disappear forever, replaced by imported, mass-produced alternatives.

How do you stand out in the Florida citrus industry? Florida’s citrus is world-renowned, but for small, family-owned citrus groves, standing out can be a challenge. Competing with Big Ag's mass-produced orange juice requires smart, strategic marketing and advertising. Luckily, the Florida Citrus Marketing Division, part of the Save Florida Citrus Groves Foundation, provides marketing support.

Free-range chicken farms and small family-owned Florida citrus groves might seem like two completely different agricultural industries.

The Florida Citrus Marketing & Advertising Division plays a critical role in supporting the Save Florida Citrus Groves Foundation by promoting the importance of small, family-owned citrus farms. Through branding, advertising, and outreach, the division works to educate consumers, drive demand for local Florida citrus, and ensure small citrus farmers thrive in an increasingly competitive market.

The Florida citrus industry is headed straight for extinction. If we don’t act fast, fresh, locally-grown Florida oranges will be replaced by mass-produced, long-shelf-life juice with zero soul. Supporting the Saving Florida Citrus Groves Foundation helps ensure that future generations can enjoy real, Florida-grown oranges, not just corporate-produced juice from concentrate.
