Elevated lime prices are finally easing. Markon First Crop (MFC) and Markon Essentials (ESS) Limes are sporadic.
- Demand is weakening, resulting in lower prices
- Growers harvested extra fruit in anticipation of strong demand following Holy Week, creating additional supplies for this week
- Larger sizes (110- and 150-count fruit) remain in short supply; availability is dominated by 200- to 250-count sizes
- Overall quality remains good; expect to see increased oil-spotting and scarring over the next several weeks following persistent rains in the growing region
- Expect size to increase once new crop supplies become available in over the next five to six weeks
- Markets are expected to inch down over the next 10 days
