ALCO

Alico, Inc.

A Florida agribusiness and land management company, Alico owns tens of thousands of acres in the Sunshine State, historically growing citrus and now leasing much of its land to other farmers. Its roots reach back to 1898, when the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad created the Atlantic Land and Improvement Company to manage the land it had acquired while laying tracks. The railroad spun the business off in 1960, and the name "Alico" is simply an acronym of that original Atlantic Land and Improvement Company.
