The global lemon market is entering a period of constrained supply, higher prices, and uncertainty. This shortfall could create volatility in supply planning and potential shortages from late December through February. Mexico has now started harvesting, but heavy rainfall has led to smaller calibres and a predominance of Choice-grade fruit, limiting marketable supply. Overall, the lemon sector is entering a season shaped by reduced production, continued high prices, and trade and logistical challenges. In the wider citrus market, supply imbalances are evident.
