UPDATE: RISING LIME PRICES

March 4, 2026

Prices in Mexico are escalating. Overall availability is extremely limited. Markon First Crop (MFC) and Markon Essentials (ESS) Limes are available.

Mexico (into South Texas)

  • The current crop is ending; new crop volume is slowly ramping up
    • Supply scarcity is common for this time of year
    • Wet weather impacted bloom cycles 90 days ago, further reducing upcoming yields
  • Overall supplies are extremely limited
    • Large sizes are scarce, especially 110-, 150-, and 175-count fruit
    • 230- and 250-count limes are more plentiful
  • Prices have moved up sharply this week and will continue rising for the next 7-10 days

Colombia

  • Supplies are becoming more consistent, but availability remains limited
  • Long lead times and tighter planning are required
  • Open‑market volume remains limited, as most fruit is committed to existing programs and contracts
  • Markets are elevated, but lower than in Mexico

Hawaii

  • Shipments remain approved for Canada only while U.S. access remains under review
  • Both long lead times and tighter planning are required
  • Pricing is lower than in Mexico and Colombia
