Lime prices are rising as seasonal volume declines and U.S. tariffs on Mexican imports take effect. Markon First Crop (MFC) and Markon Essentials (ESS) Limes are available

Mexico (into South Texas)

• Volume is down as growers move into the next crop cycle for which projections are lower at this time of year
• Quality ranges from good to fair between new and existing crop supplies; oil spotting, stylar, and decay are occasional issues
• Size is shifting towards smaller 200- through 250-count limes as growers move into new crop supplies; larger 110- to 175-count sizes are expected to become limited over the next three to four weeks
• Markon recommends increased order lead time to ensure coverage; late orders or additions need to be substituted with packer label
• Expect prices to rise as seasonal volume declines through April

Colombia

• Packer label limes are available for loading out of Florida
• Prices are inching up as demand shifts from Mexico, trailing slightly below Mexican fruit costs
• Quality is good
• Expect prices to climb over the next two to three weeks
