"There are two areas in Brazil - Sao Paolo and Bahia - where the limes come from. The harvest in Sao Paolo is just about coming to an end now and we will have to switch to Bahia. We are therefore expecting a dip in the export volume from Brazil for a period of two to four weeks. This will hopefully cause a revival in the market, but time will tell," continues Joey. "We are very careful when selecting parties. At the end of the season in Sao Paolo the limes are always a bit lighter, so a good selection before leaving is certainly needed to prevent the limes arriving here as lemons."
"If the supply of lemons doesn't get going, it is expected that the lime market will find its way upwards as far as the prices are concerned. We have developed a programme for weekly arrivals from both Brazil and Mexico to still be able to serve all customers," concludes the importer.
