The current lime situation in the last two years.
In 2022, Mexico produced 3,101,099 tons of Tahiti lime, an increase of 5.0% over 2021. The leading states in production are Veracruz (27.7%), Michoacan (27.6%) and Colima (10.0%). Michoacan leads the ranking with 54,160 hectares of harvested area and a yield of 15.8 tons per hectare.
Mexico mainly supplies lemons to the United States, accounting for 92.6% of all U.S. lime imports in 2022, up from 97.5% in 2020. Meanwhile, Colombia's share increased from 1.8% in 2020 to 5.2% in 2022. Peru also contributed, but to a lesser extent. Countries such as Honduras and Guatemala send very little lemon.
And because the United States has high requirements and strict standards for imported fruits. Many packing plants are looking for processing solutions for limes. FstSort can perform the entire process, from cleaning to post-harvest packing of limes.
