Greening disease is super impactful. Most consumers haven't heard of it. Regardless, it's destroying the US citrus crop. Have a friend that's a Ph D agronomist with a 30 acre retirement Satsuma orchard - been hearing about this for the last 4-5 years.
Kudos for being informed on that. Ain't the Devil - but it is unscrupulous folks in that biz - taking shortcuts.

It’s been a thing the growers out here in California have been fighting for over a decade. I think we’ve got it under control though. It’s a Chinese insect that carries the disease. Florida’s Valencia crop has been hammered and that is the juice orange. Florida’s Natural is now a blend from Florida, Mexico and Brazil. Valencias are grown out here, season will end in a month or so, but this is prime navel and every other variety territory.
