There is still room to grow, as even with the small jump prices remain among the lowest we have seen in the last four years.

After a healthy increase in volumes in week 5, supplies are finally normalizing and getting closer to last year’s levels. Should this trend persist, we could see a rapid recovery of the markets in line with what we saw last year.

Considering limes’ volatility around this time of year, it is always an interesting commodity to watch as we closely monitor this unfolding situation.
