## Abstract

This rule relaxes weekly limits on small red seedless grapefruit entering the fresh market under the marketing order covering oranges, grapefruit, tangerines, and tangelos grown in Florida (order). The Citrus Administrative Committee (Committee), which locally administers the order, recommended this action. This rule relaxes the weekly limitation set for shipments of small-sized red seedless grapefruit entering the fresh market from 40 percent to 50 percent during the last week of the 22-week regulatory period. This action provides an additional volume of small red seedless grapefruit to address current marketing conditions without saturating all markets with these small sizes. This rule should help stabilize the market and improve grower returns.
