UPDATE: LIMES

August 03, 2021

Markon First Crop and Markon Essentials Limes are available. The market continues to rise this week; supplies are tight due to poor weather in Mexico.

  • Continual rain in the primary growing region of Veracruz, Mexico is reducing availability
    • Supplies are tightening due to reduced yields
    • Quality issues such as skin breakdown, oil spotting, and styler are concerns
    • Growers continue to limit harvesting time due to wet weather
  • Prices for all sizes are climbing
  • Size is dominated by 150- and 175-count sizes, followed by 200-count fruit
  • Elevated markets are expected through August
