Mexican persian lime price is about to rebound due to lower production

Persian Lime producers from the northern region of Veracruz, were severely affected by Hurrican Grace which hit the area in Mid-August 2021, and even as this hurricane caused landfall around two and a half months ago, it damaged crops that were to be harvested by November 2021. The Persian lime production from northern Veracruz will be only 60% than what was expected for upcoming November, and from that decimated amount only 30 to 40% will be able to comply with Quality USDA #1. There will be higher demand from the US and Canada while products from Mexico exporters decrease, and ultimately it will lead to gradually higher farmgate prices.
