Company Overview
History and Background

Core Business Areas

- Alico Ranch and Conservation: Engaged in cattle ranching and conservation activities. Revenue is obtained from cattle sales and from granting conservation easements.
Leadership and Structure
Alico Inc is led by a board of directors and a management team. The CEO oversees the company's strategic direction and operations.
Top Products and Market Share
Key Offerings
- Oranges: Alico grows oranges primarily for juice production. Market share fluctuates with weather conditions and crop yields, but they are a major supplier to juice processors in Florida. Competitors include other large citrus growers such as Wonderful Citrus and various independent growers. Revenue from orange sales is a major driver of the Alico Citrus segment's performance.
- Cattle: Alico Ranch raises cattle for beef production. The market share in the overall beef industry is small, but it is a significant player in the Florida cattle market. Competitors include other large cattle ranchers in Florida. Cattle revenue is a notable part of the Alico Ranch segment.
Market Dynamics
Industry Overview
The citrus industry is affected by factors like weather, disease (citrus greening), and global competition. The cattle industry is influenced by feed prices, consumer demand, and global trade policies. Water resources are impacted by regulation and increasing demand.
Positioning
Alico is positioned as a land management company with diverse revenue streams. Its competitive advantages include large land holdings in Florida, access to water resources, and experience in managing agricultural operations.
Total Addressable Market (TAM)
TAM for Florida citrus is estimated at several billion USD annually. Alico's TAM in cattle ranching is based on Florida's beef market, also in the billions. TAM for water rights depends on regulatory changes and demand. Alico is a medium player in the overall TAM, and can leverage its large landholding to drive TAM capture.
