UPDATE: LIMES

August 22, 2023

Severe weather storms in Mexico and South Texas will impact lime supplies this week. Markets are poised to increase. Markon First Crop (MFC) and Markon Essentials (ESS) Limes are available.

  • Mexico experienced heavy rains over the weekend; Hurricane Hilary has hampered production
  • The South Texas border near McAllen is experiencing 35mph winds and precipitation today as Tropical Storm Harold passes through the region; logistical routes in the area may see delays over the next 24 hours
  • Overall quality is good; however, extra grading is required due to scarring, blanching, and oil spots
  • Larger-size fruit (110- to 150-count limes) are more abundant
  • Expect active prices over the next two weeks

Please contact your Markon customer service representative for more information.
