Citrus

Background 

Processing of citrus juice in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas generally begins in December when harvest commences and terminates in May when harvest ends. When insured citrus fruit is damaged from December through May, market prices are generally available for settling claims. Market prices are generally unavailable for settling claims when insured citrus fruit is damaged from June through November and citrus juice processing is not in operation.

Background

The Risk Management Agency (RMA) has revised the Texas Citrus Fruit Crop Provisions (18-0226) for the 2018 and succeeding crop years.

On August 12, 2015, AgriLogic Consulting, LLC (AgriLogic) the developers of the Texas Citrus Tree plan of insurance, advised the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) Board of Directors (Board) of their intent to maintain the Texas Citrus Tree plan of insurance and charge a user fee to approved insurance providers (AIP) selling the plan.  Section 522(b)(4)(C) of the Federal Crop Insurance Act (Act) allows submitters to transfer approved 508(h) products to FCIC for maintenance, or maintain the policy and charge a user fee to AIP’s that elect to sell the policy.
