Florida citrus has been hit in the New York area because of Hurricane Sandy.
Hurricane Sandy, that hit the New York region, has also disrupted Florida citrus.
The citrus season began in Florida, but the marketing of fruit will be slowed by the effects of Hurricane Sandy in the region of New York. Buying fresh fruit is not a priority for the victims. Road and rail
problems added to electrical problems have disrupted storage and distribution.
The impact on the sales of fresh fruit could last a few weeks. Philadelphia, Boston and New York are the 3 main cities of domestic market and represent 35-45% of the turnover of Florida citrus.
