Excerpt from Citrus Industry of Brazil Total orange and tangerine acreage in 1957 is estimated at to 100, 000 acres, of which not over 25, 000 acres mostly in 850 Paulo-are capable of producing export fruit. In 1957, 80 percent of 850 Paulo groves were less than 10 years of age. By 1965, total acreage may increase to 125, 000 acres, primarily in Sao Paulo. Only 30, 000 to 40, 000 acres may be capable of producing export fruit. Most new plantings are on Rangpur lime root. Trifoliate orange, sweet lime, and rough lemon are other roots used. The most important export variety is the late Pera. Early export varieties are the Hamlin and a small navel orange, which has a closed navel.
