Alicos Strategic Assessment
Citrus
| | Brands require Florida oranges |
| | Tropicana and Minute Maid |
| | Grown to over half the orange juice market |
| | Marketers need to partner with Florida producers |
| | Long-term marketing agreements |
| | Volume and price incentives |
| | Require stable and efficient growers |
| | Relatively high long-term expected returns |
Sugarcane
| | Government supported industry |
| | Most profitably grown on muck soils |
| | Lower long-term expected returns |
Cattle
| | Supply levels generally dictate pricing |
| | Lower long-term expected returns |
Strategic Vision and Initiatives
| | Market and sell under-productive assets |
| | Invest in citrus groves to increase citrus production
and partner with marketers |
| | Plant groves on owned land |
| | Acquire groves in Florida |
