UPDATE: LIMES

July 25, 2025

Lime supplies are tightening in Veracruz, Mexico. New crop yields are low, resulting in reduced overall volume. Markon First Crop (MFC) and Markon Essentials (ESS) Limes are available.

Mexico (into South Texas)

  • Increased bloom and fruit drop in the new crop have reduced overall supplies
  • Medium-size supplies (175- to 200-count limes) dominate availability, while large sizes (110-count fruit) and small limes (250-count stocks) are limited due to early maturity and sporadic weather events
  • Rain has caused quality issues, including skin breakdown, oil spots, blanching, and overall lighter color
  • Markets are expected to remain steady across all sizes, but smaller limes will tighten; most fruit will increase in size due to heavy rain

Colombia

  • Packer label limes are available for loading out of Florida; supplies are sufficient
    • Small- and medium-sized fruit dominate the crop, but all sizes are available
    • Hurricane season has increased rain in the growing region, but quality remains strong with clean skin; scarring and blanching are occasional issues
    • Colombia’s mountainous topography ensures rainfall runs off quickly, preventing water from sitting on the fruit and preserving its quality
