This week we dived into limes. We looked at 80+ lime price points from 7 different distributors, giving us a real picture of what restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area are paying.
The average price of limes increased from $1.41/lb the week of 7/01/23 to $2.33/lb the week of 9/03/23 for an increase of 65% over the last 2 months.
What’s Affecting The Price?
Rain, extreme heat, and humidity in Mexico and California have impacted quality and shelf life, which contributes to low yields/availability. The new crop season will start in October but they have been impacted by summer heat so volumes may be lower. Crossings from Mexico are currently steady. Market continues to be very strong
Suggestions
175 and 200 counts of limes are dominating the market, you may be able to get better prices if you buy those pack sizes.
