The 165- through 200-count lemon market remains elevated due to low volume and strong demand. In early July, both offshore and Mexican lemons will supplement domestic supplies.

Domestic

• Markon First Crop (MFC) and Markon Essentials (ESS) Lemons are available  
• Small-size lemons (165- through 235-count fruit) remain limited
• Quality is good (especially strong choice-grade fruit)
• Elevated pricing is forecast for the next six weeks

Offshore

• Offshore fruit will begin shipping in late June and run through early December
• The size profile will be dominated by large lemons (95- through 140-count fruit) but smaller sizes will be available as well
• Expect higher pricing compared to domestic and Mexican fruit due to better quality

Mexican

• Mexican shipments are expected to begin in early July and will run through late November
• The size profile will be 165- through 235-count fruit but larger sizes will be available
• Expect pricing to be comparable to domestic fruit until volume rises
