UPDATE: LIMES

April 22, 2026

The lime market is inching down as supplies increase from Mexico. Markon First Crop (MFC) and Markon Essentials (ESS) Limes remain available.

Mexico (into South Texas)

  • Size is skewed toward smaller fruit; 175-count and larger stocks are limited
  • Excessive heat is expected in Mexico, which may stress the crop
  • Quality remains strong with minimal oil spotting and skin breakdown
  • The Cinco de Mayo holiday will spike demand this week

Colombia

  • Supplies are ample across all sizes
  • Quality is strong; juice content is higher than limes coming from Mexico
  • Pricing is less reactive to demand or supply changes with some sizes now more expensive than Mexican limes

Hawaii

  • Despite heavy rains in late winter, the crop remains in good shape
  • Harvesting has been delayed due to excess moisture in fields
  • Steady supplies are expected to resume shipping once clearance is granted to ship into the United States mainland
  • Quality is very good; juice content is much higher than Mexican fruit
