The Florida Citrus Extension group strives to meet the information and technology transfer needs of the Florida citrus industry, by providing user-friendly technical summaries, guidance in resolving emerging problems, updates on new opportunities, and ongoing educational programs.

Citrus Extension efforts are conducted by commercial citrus agents working in individual counties or multi-county areas, and citrus extension specialists stationed at Research Centers around the state or the University of Florida campus in Gainesville.

A series of action teams were formed in response to Florida First initiatives to better address the informational needs of the FL citrus industry. These action teams are directed toward specific problem areas designated as priorities. Action teams are responsible for needs assessment, goal setting, educational planning, preparation and delivery of education materials and meetings, and collection of evidence that efforts were effective.
