Florida Classic Growers reports a strong start to the 2025–26 Florida citrus season, marked by exceptional fruit quality and stronger yields.
"We are extremely pleased with the fruit quality this season," said Derek Rodgers, director of sales and marketing for Florida Classic Growers. "We're seeing improved size, higher brix levels, and some of the best external appearance we've had in recent years. Our enhanced production practices are paying off in a big way."

With the state avoiding major hurricane impacts so far this year, the company reports a year-over-year increase in volume—an encouraging trend for both the company and the broader citrus industry.
"This is a very exciting time for Florida citrus and for Florida Classic Growers," Rodgers added. "The combination of strong quality and increased availability is creating real momentum, and we're eager to share that with our retail, wholesale, and foodservice partners."
The company is now entering peak season for grapefruit, navel oranges, and juice oranges, offering promotable volumes and consistent quality. It encourages buyers to connect early as demand continues to strengthen.
