  • Florida's citrus industry has faced pressures from hurricanes like Irma and Ian, along with ongoing issues from citrus greening disease.
  • Alico will manage approximately 3,400 acres through third-party care and is looking at potential commercial or residential development on part of its land.
  • The company expects to cut up to 172 jobs in light of these changes, signaling further impacts on the regional agricultural workforce.
