Florida is one of the most agriculturally productive states in the US, with a $21 billion annual agricultural output anchored by citrus (the largest US citrus producing state), tomatoes, strawberries, sugarcane, and a $1.4 billion nursery and greenhouse sector. Agriculture pallets in Florida span a wide range of requirements: standard GMA 48x40 for retail-bound produce, custom citrus bin sizes (48x24, 40x40) for field operations, food-grade certified Grade A for GFSI-audited packinghouses, and ISPM-15 heat-treated pallets for the enormous volume of Florida produce exported through PortMiami and Port Everglades to Caribbean, European, and Latin American markets.
