UPDATE: LIMES

March 31, 2026

Lime prices remain elevated; yields are extremely limited. Upcoming Holy Week disruptions are expected to keep supplies tight. Markon First Crop (MFC) and Markon Essentials (ESS) Limes remain available.

Mexico (into South Texas)

  • Rainfall remains insufficient to drive meaningful size gain; small fruit dominates crops
  • Current sizing remains concentrated in the 230-, 250-, and 275-count range; larger sizes are scarce
  • No. 2 volume is low, especially in large sizes
  • Occasional oil spotting and skin breakdown have been reported
  • No harvesting is expected past Wednesday, with minimal crossings and reduced production during Holy Week
  • Markets are expected to remain elevated through this week and next

Colombia

  • Weather conditions have returned to normal
  • Rainfall impact was less disruptive to volume than initially expected
  • Near‑term availability remains relatively steady
  • Holy Week is expected to impact arrivals
  • Expect high prices to persist through mid-April

Hawaii

  • The crop remains intact, but continued wet conditions are limiting production
  • Field access remains restricted, keeping harvesting in a holding pattern
  • Limited volume may be possible on a day‑to‑day basis as conditions allow
  • Weather trends appear more favorable in the long term, supporting improved access once fields dry out
  • Prices are higher, following the upward trend with Mexico and Colombia
