UPDATE: LIMES

July 7, 2026

Persistent rain in Mexico has begun shifting lime size; larger sizes are more readily available. Markon First Crop (MFC) and Markon Essentials (ESS) Limes are available.

Mexico (into South Texas)

  • The month of June saw more than double the total rainfall of May and 15% more rainfall than June 2025
  • The consistent rain has increased the availability of large-sized limes (110- and 150-count fruit); smaller sizes, 230- and 250-count limes, will become more limited
  • Quality issues, such as oil spotting and stylar, will become more common later in July
  • Import numbers fell due to the Independence Day holiday
  • Markets for the small sizes are starting to tick up; prices for larger sizes are easing

Colombia

  • All sizes are ample; juice content superior compared to Mexican-grown fruit
  • The Colombian market remains priced slightly higher than Mexican limes, but is trending down

Hawaii

  • Suppliers are waiting for regulatory approval to ship into the mainland United States; stocks are currently shipping to Canada
  • Quality has been solid, but minimal blanching is present
