UPDATE: LIMES

September 15, 2026

Prices are climbing; supply levels are falling. Markon First Crop (MFC) and Markon Essentials (ESS) Limes are available.

Mexico

  • Higher-than-average temperatures in the Veracruz growing region have reduced production
  • New crop harvesting has begun, supplementing declining volume in older sets
  • Small sizes, 230- to 250-count limes, are becoming a higher proportion of total volume and exhibiting better external appearance
  • Large sizes are getting tighter
  • Stylar, skin breakdown, and discoloration are being reported; suppliers are intensifying grading to maintain quality
  • The upcoming Mexican Independence Day on September 16 will reduce crossings this week, further tightening availability
  • Markets will continue to rise through September

Colombia

  • Overall volume is steady, but below historical averages
  • Quality is superior to Mexican limes
  • Demand is strengthening, causing prices to rise

Hawaii

  • With exporting limited to Canada, harvesting has been reduced to match demand
  • Expect a clean external appearance, but with lighter coloring
