Lime prices are rising; volume is falling.
- Markon First Crop (MFC) and Markon Essentials (ESS) Limes are available
- Last week production was low due to the New Year’s holiday and passing rains in Veracruz, Mexico
- Low overall volume is expected this winter following an active hurricane season this past fall
- Heavy rains led to bloom drop, impacting quality in the forms of oil spotting, stylar, and decay
- Current crops are dominated by large fruit (110- through 150-count limes)
- Size will shift to smaller supplies (200- through 250-count limes), as growers harvest new lots in late January/early February
- Markon recommends increasing order lead time to ensure coverage and avoid delays
- Expect markets to climb over the next three weeks as yields decline
