Lime Oil Distilled (Mexican)

Mexican distilled lime oil availability is starting as we are entering the second crop. 

Mexico is at the peak of its summer crop, though heavy rains have reduced collections. Volumes should improve before tapering in September.  Prices remain firm.

Weather disruptions but next harvest expected June.

Mexico produces an average of 5 million tons of limes each year, though only around 10% of that production goes towards processing. High prices for fresh fruit and consistent increases in consumer demand for lime products have caused a sharp increase in the cost of lime oil. Availability remains low, especially during the summer season, when tourism in Mexico generates a massive influx in the number of fresh lime consumers within the nation.
