Lime markets are on the rise as supplies reach seasonal lows; demand is moderate. Markon First Crop (MFC) and Markon Essentials (ESS) Limes are available.

Mexico

• Mexican supplies are lighter which is common for this time of year; prices are rising
• Persistent rains and cold weather this fall/early winter led to bloom drop and reduced available supplies
• Supplies are dominated by larger size 110-and 150-count limes
• Quality is good; light color, scarring, and decay are minimal
• Expect markets to continue rising over the next one to two weeks

Colombia

• Colombian stocks are shipping by boat into domestic ports in New Jersey and Florida
• Quality is good; due to past rains, light stylar and oil spotting are having to be graded out
• Markets are comparable to Mexico; prices are trailing slightly lower than Mexico FOB’s
