"At the moment, it seems the market is slowly recovering. Currently the market price is around 5 Euro, and the price is expected to increase further, because supplies to Europe are significantly decreasing. And sunny weather is always good for lime sales," says the importer, who has been with Total Exotics for two months now. "Also remarkable is that the quality of the Mexican limes isn't that far off from the Brazilian ones this year. Because of the weather conditions, Brazilian limes aren't as deeply green as in other years. Because of this, prices for both origins are at roughly the same level, while normally there's at least a Euro between them. Also, due to the higher import tariffs for Brazilian limes, the difference in cost price between Mexico and Brazil has decreased."
