UPDATE: LIMES

March 25, 2021

Markon First Crop and Markon Essentials Limes are limited; packer label is being substituted as needed. Prices remain elevated; supplies are tight.

  • Mexican shipments (through South Texas) remain lower than normal, keeping availability limited
  • 110- and 150-count sizes are tightening with the size curve favoring 200-count and smaller sizes
  • A cold front that came through Mexico in February impacted blooms and fruit set; growers are anticipating lower-than-normal yields through May 2021
  • Typically prices begin to ease after Easter (April 4), but all indications are pointing towards elevated markets through May this season
