The lime market is inching down as supplies increase from Mexico. Markon First Crop (MFC) and Markon Essentials (ESS) Limes remain available.
Mexico (into South Texas)
- Size is skewed toward smaller fruit; 175-count and larger stocks are limited
- Excessive heat is expected in Mexico, which may stress the crop
- Quality remains strong with minimal oil spotting and skin breakdown
- The Cinco de Mayo holiday will spike demand this week
Colombia
- Supplies are ample across all sizes
- Quality is strong; juice content is higher than limes coming from Mexico
- Pricing is less reactive to demand or supply changes with some sizes now more expensive than Mexican limes
Hawaii
- Despite heavy rains in late winter, the crop remains in good shape
- Harvesting has been delayed due to excess moisture in fields
- Steady supplies are expected to resume shipping once clearance is granted to ship into the United States mainland
- Quality is very good; juice content is much higher than Mexican fruit
