High Prices for Mexican Limes in the U.S.

In the last 2 weeks, the field price of Mexican Lime in the U.S. has increased due to heavy rains causing fungus and bacteria issues on crops and low fruit offerings since producers are trying to raise the price of their available stock. FOB Prices in McAllen go from USD 18-25 per 40 lbs carton box. According to a distributor at McAllen, the prices of Persian limes will continue to increase since Mexico is still facing rains.
