Limes are a staple in consumers shopping baskets year-round. From salsas to entrees, drinks and more, they’re a versatile part of the citrus fruit category.
Limes are one of the fastest growing fruit commodities—outpacing produce, fruit, and citrus categories in both dollars and volume. In 2024 alone, limes accounted for $937 million dollars.
Promotional activity for limes picks up late April and continues to be elevated throughout the summer, where more than 38% of total pounds are sold on promotion.
Likewise, after October, nearly 37% of pounds are sold through promotional offers.
