Transforming Troubled Citrus into Real Estate Opportunities
June 12, 2025 - 21:30
In a bold move, Alico, Inc. has announced plans to cease its citrus operations after the 2024-25 harvest, pivoting towards real estate development. This decision comes in response to a staggering 73% decline in citrus production, prompting the company to explore new avenues for profitability. By leveraging the land previously dedicated to orange groves, Alico aims to capitalize on the growing demand for real estate in Florida.
The company's strategy involves transitioning from agriculture to property development, effectively turning challenges in the citrus market into lucrative opportunities. Industry experts suggest that Alico's land holdings, which are strategically located, could yield significant returns through residential and commercial projects.
As the real estate market continues to thrive, Alico's shift is seen as a timely response to declining citrus revenues. Stakeholders are optimistic that this transformation will not only stabilize the company's financial standing but also contribute positively to the local economy. This innovative approach could set a precedent for other agricultural businesses facing similar challenges.
