Florida citrus growers must pay more to fund their own marketing committee

Florida citrus growers will pay a higher fee for each carton of fruit they sell. This money goes to the Citrus Administrative Committee, which oversees marketing and research for the industry.

This is a small, mandatory cost increase for Florida citrus growers. It means the committee that represents them decided it needs more money to operate. These committees often fund advertising campaigns or research into new growing methods.
