The domestic lemon market remains elevated due to 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 is good; scarring and early decay have been reported
- 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 similar pricing when compared to domestic
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
- Expect steady markets and lower prices compared to domestic and offshore fruit
