UPDATE: LIMES

July 31, 2024

Rain in Veracruz, Mexico is impacting harvests; markets are on the rise. Markon First Crop (MFC) and Markon Essentials (ESS) Limes are available. 

  • Heavy rains in the main growing region of Veracruz, Mexico are limiting harvests and driving up prices; shipments are down
  • Due to persistent rains, growers are reporting increases of stylar, oil spotting, and occasional decay during grading
  • Fruit size is increasing; supplies are dominated by larger-size, 110- to 175-count limes
  • Expect medium to smaller sizes (200- to 250-count limes) to become limited
  • Prices are expected to continue to rise as crossings at the US-Mexico border decrease
  • Markon recommends increased lead time to avoid loading delays
