Lime markets are rising; demand is strengthening while volume is falling.
- Markon First Crop (MFC) and Markon Essentials (ESS) Limes are available
- Last weekend’s rain reduced production and receiving hours in Veracruz, Mexico, resulting in fewer shipments crossing into Texas today
- Current harvests are dominated by large, 110- through 175-count limes; stylar and oil spotting are occasional issues for these sizes
- Small, 200- to 250-count fruit is extremely limited and commands higher prices
- Lower new crop volume is expected following this fall’s active hurricane season in Veracruz, Mexico
- Expect prices to inch up over the next three to four weeks
