Alico, Inc., which completed its last major citrus harvest this year, announced results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended Sept. 30.
LESS PRODUCTION
For the fiscal year, Alico Citrus harvested 2.3 million boxes of fruit, a decrease of 25.9% from the prior year. It harvested 944,000 boxes of early- and mid-season oranges, down 20.9% from 2024. Its Valencia harvest totaled 1.305 million boxes in 2025, down 29.6% from 2024. The company stated that the decrease in harvested production was driven by an increase in fruit drop caused by Hurricane Milton in October 2024.
The vast majority of Alico’s 2025 citrus fruit — 2.249 million boxes — was processed; 37,000 boxes went to the fresh market.
Alico fruit produced 10.846 million pound solids in 2025, down 26.4% from the prior year. Early- and mid-season oranges averaged 4.47 pound solids per box. Valencia oranges averaged 5.07 pound solids per box in 2025.
HIGHER PRICES
Alico’s price per pound solids rose in 2025. The price was $3.69 for early- and mid-season oranges, up from $2.71 the prior year. The price was $3.64 for Valencia oranges, up from $2.88 the prior year. The company’s combined realized price per pound solids rose from $2.81 in 2024 to $3.66 this year. The company said the increase was the result of more favorable pricing in one of its contracts with Tropicana.
“Fiscal year 2025 was a pivotal year in Alico’s strategic evolution as we successfully made our transformation from a traditional citrus producer to a diversified land company,” Alico President and Chief Executive Officers John Kiernan said.
