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.
