Mexican Lime Prices Rise in the United States

Mexican limes show high prices in the United States. The price at the entry point, the McAllen market, stands at USD 31 per 40lb box. The new harvest season in Mexico shows a lower yield and quality due to high rain. Limes have mold and oil spots created by the high humidity. Suppliers expect that the high price will remain for a couple of weeks until rains subside and supply stabilizes.
