Abstract

Profitable citrus growing in the San Joaquin Valley involves successful risk analysis and the offsetting of perils resulting from overproduction, competition, frost, diseases and insect pests. Marketing difficulties are usually resolved through cooperative effort. Overcoming production risks requires problem-solving procedures applied to each orchard and crop.
