News and Stories

Markon First Crop and Markon Essentials Limes are available. Markets continue to rise due to tighter supplies reduced by weather and increased demand. Quality problems remain a concern; Markon recommends ordering for quick turns.

•  
• Temperatures in the mid-90s and forecast rain over the next 10-14 days are causing quality issues and shortening shelf-life
• Growers in Mexico are experiencing reduced yields due to heat- and rain-damaged fruit
  • When product arrives into South Texas and receiving points across North America, breakdown, decay, stylar, and yellowing are more prevalent than normal
  • Suppliers are re-packing and sorting limes prior to shipping, but heavy cull rates are resulting in fewer limes on the market
• Loading delays may occur due to longer re-pack times
• The current lemon shortage has shifted demand to limes, creating a demand-exceeds-supply market
