Prices remain elevated and are expected to continue climbing as supply constraints and quality challenges persist, particularly out of Mexico. Markon First Crop (MFC) and Markon Essentials (ESS) Limes are available.

Mexico (into South Texas)

• The winter season has concluded
• New crop volume is low due to bloom drop
• Quality challenges persist, including lower pack‑out yields and increased repacking, driven by weather stress, humidity, and high temperatures
• Additional grading and repacking are keeping costs firm across all sizes
• Demand is strengthening, further pressuring availability and driving markets higher

Colombia

• Quality remains steady and more consistent compared to Mexico, with fewer stylar-end and shelf-life concerns
• Growing regions are at higher elevations, which helps support better overall condition and shelf life
• Colombia is typically subject to fewer disruptive weather events than Mexico, providing a more stable growing and supply environment
• Supply levels remains consistent, but shipments require longer lead times and tighter planning

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
