UPDATE: LIMES

August 12, 2026

The lime market is rising due to limited supplies, increased grading, and ongoing quality concerns. Markon First Crop (MFC) and Markon Essentials (ESS) Limes are available.

Mexico

  • Veracruz has experienced rain and high humidity, creating quality issues and decreasing usable supply
    • Growers are increasing grading due to oil spotting, skin breakdown, and occasional stylar
    • Size remains inconsistent; smaller 230- and 250-count fruit is the most limited
  • Additional grading is reducing marketable volume and adding cost throughout the supply chain
  • Western Mexico growing regions have also seen wind-related crop loss, further tightening overall availability
  • Expect an active market with elevated pricing through the month

Colombia & Honduras

  • Volume is steady despite recent earthquake activity affecting the country
  • Overall markets are increasing
  • Supplies are available for loading in Florida and the Northeast

Hawaii

  • Supplies are sufficient, with no significant changes expected
  • Regional volume remains limited compared to other growing areas
  • Fruit is available for loading in Canada only
