UPDATE: LIMES

February 3, 2026

Prices remain elevated and are expected to stay firm as ongoing quality issues in Mexico limit availability. Markon First Crop (MFC) and Markon Essentials (ESS) Limes are available.

Mexico (into South Texas)

  • Stylar-end breakdown, oil spotting, and skin condition issues are increasing significantly following recent rain events; these quality challenges are expected to persist for the next three to four weeks
  • The crop is currently dominated by 110– and 150-count fruit, but as growers make their way through these supplies, size will shift smaller fruit in the coming weeks
  • Additional grading is keeping costs firm across all sizes
  • Supplies will tighten further as Super Bowl promotional demand coincides with reduced volume in Mexico

Colombia

  • Quality remains consistent, with fewer stylar and shelf-life concerns compared to Mexico
  • Packer-label limes are available for loading out of Florida

Hawaii

  • Growers report strong internal quality and high juice content
  • Shipments are currently cleared for Canada only, while a federal comment period is underway regarding proposed approval for U.S. mainland access
