Lime markets are starting to rise as volume declines.
- Markon First Crop (MFC) and Markon Essentials (ESS) Limes are available
- Harvests will be limited in Veracruz, Mexico this week due to rain moving into growing areas
- Quality is good
- Rain may lead to increased percentages of oil spotting, scarring, and stylar
- Production will be minimal next week as harvesting crews take time off in observation of the Christmas holiday
- To avoid loading delays, Markon recommends advanced lead time for orders loading next week
- Substituting packer label for MFC and ESS Limes may be required for late orders or additions
- Current crops are dominated by large, 110- through 150-count limes
- Smaller, 200- through 250-count fruit is becoming limited commanding higher prices
- Expect markets to inch up over the next two to three weeks
