FLORIDA CITRUS INDUSTRY CONFERENCE DRAWS RECORD CROWD

Jim Rogers June 21, 2022 Awards, Events, HLB Management

Citrus growers and industry stakeholders gathered in Bonita Springs last week
for the Florida Citrus Industry Annual Conference. After being sidelined the
previous two years due to COVID-19, the conference drew a record crowd of more
than 500 registered attendees.

From left, Mike Sparks, retiring executive vice president and CEO of Florida
Citrus Mutual; Citrus Achievement Award winner Kristen Carlson; Matt Joyner,
incoming executive vice president and CEO of Florida Citrus Mutual; and AgNet
Media editor-in-chief Frank Giles pose with the trophy after the ceremony
recognizing Carlson as this year’s award recipient.


The event, hosted by Florida Citrus Mutual, was packed with educational
programming and meetings for various industry groups. The Citrus Research and
Development Foundation (CRDF) held its June board meeting during the event. The
much-anticipated meeting was the first after growers voted in favor of
continuing a research order that allows growers to tax their production to fund
research projects mostly aimed at finding solutions to HLB.

With the taxing mechanism confirmed, the CRDF board of directors debated,
recommended and voted on the tax rate, which has been 3 cents per box (the
maximum rate) for the past several years. After considerable discussion, the
board recommended and voted that the rate be reduced to 2 cents per box. Board
members noted this reduction in revenue (about 33%) will force CRDF to be
laser-focused in directing funds toward research projects that will have
near-term results in the fight against HLB.

The 2022 Citrus Achievement Award trophy was presented to Kristen Carlson during
the conference’s Industry Luncheon. Carlson played a critical role in developing
the structure for the Citrus Research and Field Trial (CRAFT) program. CRAFT
seeks to collect standardized and usable data on grower approaches to mitigate
HLB in their groves. It also is responsible for nearly 5,000 acres of new citrus
plantings in Florida. For more than 20 years, the award, which is sponsored by
Florida Citrus Mutual, has honored individuals who have been outstanding
advocates on behalf of the state’s citrus industry.



The conference’s educational program provided growers with updates on ways to
address HLB right now or in the near-term. Two private companies provided
updates on progress to make their products commercially available to growers.
One product (Vismax) is a novel peptide material that triggers a citrus tree’s
defense against HLB. The other product (ReMedium) is a formulation of
oxytetracycline and a mechanism to inject (FLexInject) the antibiotic into
citrus tree trunks to kill the HLB bacteria. More on these products and other
educational program highlights are coming in future articles.
