The domestic lemon market remains elevated due to extremely limited supplies and strong demand. Imports from offshore growing regions and Mexico are helping supplement availability; however, overall supplies remain tight, keeping prices high.
Domestic
- Markon First Crop (MFC) and Markon Essentials (ESS) Lemons are available
- All sizes remain limited
- Quality ranges from very good to excellent
- Elevated pricing is forecast for the next six weeks
Offshore
- Offshore fruit from Argentina and Chile is arriving in North America and will run through early December
- These shipments will help fill orders not met by California lemons
- Size will be dominated by large lemons (95- through 140-count fruit); smaller sizes will be available as well
- Expect higher pricing compared to domestic and Mexican fruit due to high quality
Mexican
- Mexican shipments have started and will run through late November
- These supplies will help fill orders not met by California lemons
- Size will be predominantly 165- through 235-count fruit; larger sizes will be available
- Pricing will be comparable to domestic fruit until volume rises
