Storms in the gulf are bringing heavy rains to Eastern Mexico, causing delays in harvest and transit; markets are rising. Markon First Crop (MFC) and Markon Essentials (ESS) Limes are available. 

• Heavy rain in the primary growing region of Veracruz, Mexico is slowing production; flooded roads are delaying crossings through U.S. ports of entry
• Stocks are dominated by smaller, 200- through 250-count sizes
• Larger sizes, 110- through 175-count, are extremely limited
• Colombian supplies are being substituted as needed to cover larger sizes
• Quality is good to fair; expect increased stylar, oil spotting, and decay due to heavy rain following weeks of severe drought conditions
• Expect rising markets and lighter supplies for the next three to four weeks
• Markon recommends placing orders with increased lead time to maximize coverage and avoid delays
