Lime prices are much higher; markets will continue to escalate through August due to ongoing crop transitions, excessive rainfall, and strong demand. These conditions are contributing to lower yields, quality issues, and tighter supplies, driving market prices upward. Markon First Crop (MFC) and Markon Essentials (ESS) Limes are available.
