Bitter Fruit in Citrus Country
Series produced by WUSF
Florida’s citrus industry faces competition in its own backyard.
Florida is known for its abundant sunshine, warm weather, and sparkling beaches. It's also known for a product that has likely been on your breakfast table – we’re talking Oranges, the state’s number one cash crop.
But not all is sweet in Citrus Country… after four devastating hurricanes, a decade long battle with canker, and now competition from South America – you can almost taste the bitterness that some growers feel.
WUSF’s Carson Cooper reports.
