UPDATE: LIMES

June 4, 2024

Drought conditions are impacting supplies in Mexico; markets are poised to rise. Markon First Crop (MFC) and Markon Essentials (ESS) Limes are available. 

  • Growers in Mexico are harvesting fruit early to avoid heat-related quality issues
    • Stocks are dominated by smaller, 200-through 250-count sizes
    • Larger, 110-through 175-count sizes are extremely limited
  • Colombian fruit is being shipped as needed to cover larger sizes when Mexican fruit is unavailable
  • Overall quality is good; anticipate increased blanching, stylar, thinner rinds, and lower juice content due to severe drought conditions
  • Expect higher prices for the next three to four weeks

Please contact your Markon customer service representative for more information.
