Based on a recommendation by the Citrus Research Board, the California Department of Food and
Agriculture (Department) has established an assessment rate to be levied on citrus producers
during the 2020-2021 marketing season, which is the period of October 1, 2020 through
September 30, 2021. The assessment rate for the 2020-2021 marketing season has been set at
three cents ($0.030) per 40-pound standard field box, or the equivalent thereof, on all types and
varieties of citrus, as defined by the California Citrus Research Program, marketed by producers
and received by handlers or processors. The 2020-2021 assessment rate is one and eight-tenth
cents ($0.018) less than the rate that was in place during the prior marketing season.
