Dear Ole Tyme Customers:

Lime availability is tightening as Mexico transitions crops under challenging weather conditions. Here’s what you need to know to stay ahead:

Mexico

Heavy rainfall is delaying the new harvest until mid-to-late September, impacting yields and quality.
Expect issues like oil spotting, skin breakdown, and lighter peel color.
Larger fruit (110 ct) is scarce; mid-sizes (175–200 ct) are more common, while smaller fruit (230–250 ct) is also limited due to sizing shifts.
Border crossings are down, and overall volume is tight—driving prices up, especially for premium small fruit.

Colombia

Consistent supply available in Florida.
Balanced sizing between 110 ct and 250 ct.
Quality is strong, with smooth skins and only light blemishes.

What to Expect

Active markets through September as we await new crop fruit.
Flexibility in sizing.
Pricing remains firm, especially for high-quality, smaller fruit.

If you have any questions, please reach out to your Sales Representative.

Thanks,

Ole Tyme Produce
