History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 115114-04 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • Citrus fruit processing has been a significant industry worldwide for centuries. The first recorded use of citrus fruit dates back to ancient China, where it was used for medicinal purposes. In the 12th century, the Moors introduced citrus fruit to Spain, where it became a popular crop. The industry continued to grow, and by the 19th century, citrus fruit was being exported from Spain to other parts of Europe and the United States. In the United States, the industry began to take off in the late 1800s, with the establishment of large-scale citrus groves in Florida and California. In the early 1900s, advancements in technology, such as the development of refrigerated rail cars, allowed for the transportation of citrus fruit across the country, leading to further growth of the industry. In recent history, the citrus fruit processing industry in the United States has faced challenges such as disease outbreaks and competition from foreign markets. In the early 2000s, the citrus industry in Florida was hit hard by citrus canker and citrus greening, which led to a decline in production. In response, the industry has invested in research and development to find solutions to these issues. Additionally, the industry has faced competition from foreign markets, particularly from Brazil, which has become a major player in the global citrus industry. Despite these challenges, the industry has continued to grow, with new technologies and innovations driving growth and expansion.
