The lime market is beginning to stabilize as seasonal demand slows and the current production cycle transitions. Supplies are adequate, though quality and sizing are shifting as the crop progresses. Markon First Crop (MFC) and Markon Essentials (ESS) Limes are available.

Mexico (into South Texas)

• The current crop is winding down; remaining fruit is trending larger in size (110- to 150-count limes) with reduced shelf life
• Quality concerns are increasing, particularly stylar-end rot, which may not manifest until after shipping
• Early harvests of the next crop have begun; limes are peaking on 175s, 200s, and 230s, with improved color and shelf life
• Ongoing quality issues persist, including oil spotting and skin breakdown due to immature fruit
• Markets remain relatively soft as demand slows and the transition to new crop continues
• With the onset of hurricane season, increased rainfall is expected in key growing regions, which may result in harvest delays and operational disruptions

Colombia

• Packer label limes are available for loading out of Florida; supplies are steady
• Size is well balanced; quality remains strong with minimal scarring or blanching
• Ongoing hurricane season activity may lead to increased precipitation and potential challenges affecting harvest and logistics
