UPDATE: Limes
March 15, 2017
Lime prices will remain elevated through early May as production slows in Veracruz, Mexico.
- Markon First Crop Limes are available from Mexico (into McAllen, Texas)
- Low production levels will limit shipments into South Texas over the next two months
- Expect high markets from late March through early May as both the labor force and crop yields fall short of industry demand
- New crop quality is excellent, but as current stocks diminish, fruit will require more sorting for problems such as discoloration and scarring
- Large-size limes (110- to 150 count fruit) are extremely limited
