            ALICO, INC./AGRI-INSURANCE COMPANY, LTD.
                 ANNOUNCES LAND SALE REVISION

LaBelle, Florida (January 31, 2002) - Ben Hill Griffin, III, Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman of the Board of Alico, Inc., (ALCO), announced today that
a portion of the property included in the 2,500 acre $30 million contract, in
Lee County, Florida, with Alanda, Ltd. (announced in December, 2001), will not
be transferred as originally contemplated.  Upon mutual consent, 323 acres
representing $9.6 million will be retained by Agri-Insurance Company, Ltd.
The property is located north of Alico Road and west of the planned extension
of Ben Hill Griffin Parkway, which separates the parcel from the rest of the
acreage included in the Alanda sale.

The parcel's location, near Florida Gulf Coast University and I-75, enhances
its marketability and it will be held for sale at a future date.
