REMINDER: CITRUS GROWERS NEED COMPLIANCE NUMBERS

There are still some Florida citrus growers who have not signed the state’s Citrus Canker Eradication Program (CCEP) compliance agreement. They will need to do so in order to receive a compliance number, which is now required if growers are to have their fruit processed. Every trip ticket must display the number or the fruit will be refused.

Compliance agreements are available at local CCEP offices or at: www.doacs.state.fl.us/pi/canker/complianceagree.html.
