News and Stories

Lime prices will inch down slightly over the next week as shipments crossing from Mexico (into South Texas) increase to normal levels. The sudden spike in pricing, due to a combination of lower-than-normal volume and protests over rising fuel prices in Mexico, has begun to weaken. Although prices will ease, markets will remain at above-normal levels for one to two more weeks while suppliers increase inventory.

• Markon First Crop Limes are available from Mexico (loading in McAllen, Texas)
• Prices will ease over the next week as shipments into South Texas increase
• The market will remain at above-average levels for another two weeks while inventory ramps up
• Current quality is good and will improve as more stocks become available; occasional skin breakdown and scarring are minor issues
