Mexico (into South Texas)
- Yields are down as growers work through the last of the current cycle’s fruit
- Quality ranges from good to fair; stylar, oil spotting, and decay are occasional issues
- Projections for the next crop cycle are low, which is common for this time of year
- Supplies are dominated by larger 110- through 150-count size limes
- Size is expected to shift to smaller 200- through 250-count limes as growers transition to new crop lots over the next two to three weeks
- Markon recommends increased order lead time to ensure coverage; late orders or additions may require substituting with packer label
- Rain is expected this weekend in Veracruz, Mexico which will disrupt production and lead to fewer border shipments going into next week
- Expect markets to inch up over the next two to three weeks as harvesting transitions
Colombia
