Prices remain firm as supplies tighten. Seasonal harvesting disruptions are impacting availability heading into the holiday period, requiring additional lead time for planning and harvesting coordination. Markon First Crop (MFC) and Markon Essentials (ESS) Limes are available.
Mexico (into South Texas)
- Crossings have slowed, tightening short-term availability and limiting options across most size ranges
- Larger sizes (110- through 175-count fruit) are more prevalent, while small sizes (230- and 250-count limes) are becoming increasingly limited week to week
- Skin breakdown and oil spotting are being reported, as well as occasional stylar-end issues following rain; these issues are resulting in reduced shelf-life
- Crews are performing additional grading for quality, increasing costs across all sizes amid lower yields and higher labor expenses
- The Christmas and New Year holidays both fall on Thursdays, significantly disrupting normal harvesting schedules in Mexico; many growing regions shut down around the holidays
- Little to no harvesting is expected December 24–26, with only limited activity occurring immediately before and after the holiday, further tightening supplies through the year’s end
Colombia
- Packer label limes are available for loading out of Florida
- Sizing is well-balanced
- Minimal scarring or blanching has been reported
