Florida's agricultural industry is grappling with the aftermath of recent winter freezes, which have resulted in over $3 billion in estimated damages, according to the Florida Department of Agriculture. The sugar cane sector has been particularly devastated, incurring losses exceeding $1 billion. This crisis compounds the existing challenges faced by Florida's citrus production, which has already experienced a 90% decline over the past 15 years due to factors like citrus greening. The recent cold snaps have further exacerbated the situation, impacting a variety of crops including strawberries, tomatoes, and bell peppers.
