The Floridian industry had a particularly lacklustre 2015-16 campaign.
Due to the production shortage, barely 2 million boxes were sold in the EU-28, confirming this source’s structural downward trend in volumes, at a rate of approximately 300 000 boxes per year (- 16 % between the 2015-16 season and the previous one). True, prices registered a substantial gain of approximately 7 %, but, at 22 euros/17 kg-box on average, they reached a level deemed off-putting by certain distributors, though without being lucrative at certain import periods, in the context of an expensive dollar and very high production stage prices. This is a problem for the grapefruit market in general, whether tropical or Mediterranean, such is the key driving force of the high-quality Floridian grapefruit behind consumption of this product.
