Lime importellers in 2021 faced a challenging year due to the catering industry's closure, which led to low demand and high supply, resulting in low prices. When the catering industry reopened, a rush for limes caused high prices. The export of limes to Europe from Mexico and Brazil increased by approximately 20% in 2021, with Brazil accounting for 90% and Mexico 10% of the volume. Joey Deen of Denimpex in Amsterdam remains hopeful for better market conditions in 2022 for the lime market.
