Mexican shipments slowed significantly last week, tightening short-term availability and pushing markets higher. Markon First Crop (MFC) and Markon Essentials (ESS) Limes remain available, but costs are expected to stay firm as demand builds ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.

Mexico (into South Texas)

• Crossings dropped by nearly 400 loads week-over-week, reducing daily inventory and limiting options across most size ranges
• The crop has shifted toward larger fruit, with increased volume of 150s and 175s, and fewer 200s/230s in the pipeline
• Mid- and small-size limes are yielding less, resulting in higher costs across all sizes
• Growers are holding out for stronger returns on premium-quality fruit
• Mexican holiday closures contributed to slower movement, while Thanksgiving promotional pull in the U.S. is tightening open-market supply

Colombia

• Packer label limes are available for loading out of Florida; supplies remain steady with strong quality
• Sizing is well balanced
• Minimal scarring or blanching has been reported
