UPDATE: LIMES

July 27, 2021

Markon First Crop and Markon Essentials Limes are available in all sizes. The market is rising this week; supplies are tight due to poor weather in Mexico.

  • Recent rain in the primary growing region of Veracruz, Mexico are reducing availability
    • Quality issues such as skin breakdown, oil spotting, and styler are concerns
    • Growers must limit harvesting time due to wet weather
  • Size is dominated by 150-, 175-, and 200-count foodservice-friendly sizes
  • Prices for all sizes are climbing due to reduced yields
  • Expect high markets through August
