Hurricane Irma Impact on Florida Citrus Industry
Hurricane Irma destroys over 60% of Florida's citrus crop, causing significant losses for farmers who were expecting a banner year. Agriculture experts from the University of Florida report that 125,000 acres of groves were damaged by wind and flooding. The disaster is expected to cause a sharp increase in orange juice futures as the industry struggles to recover from the "orange soup" left in the storm's wake.
