UPDATE: LIMES

March 20, 2026

Lime availability continues to tighten, with weather and harvesting disruptions adding pressure across all growing regions. Markon First Crop (MFC) and Markon Essentials (ESS) Limes remain available.

Mexico (into South Texas)

  • Market conditions continue to firm as new crop fruit costs rise
  • Overall availability is tightening, with the most pressure on large sizes
  • Current sizing remains skewed small, with limited opportunity for near‑term relief
  • Recent light rainfall has not increased size and is slowing production
  • Holy Week is expected to significantly restrict harvesting
  • Markets are expected to remain elevated into April

Colombia

  • Supply remains constrained, with availability still limited
  • Heavy rainfall disrupted harvesting and shipping schedules
  • Volume gaps are expected to surface in the coming weeks due to transit timing
  • Quality is generally good, with occasional oil spotting reported
  • Markets remain elevated but continue to trend below those in Mexico

Hawaii

  • Excessive rainfall is slowing production
  • Shipments remain approved for Canada only
  • Longer lead times and tighter planning remain necessary
  • Pricing is competitive relative to Mexico and Colombia
