Lemon Prices Finally Begin to Fall in Yucatan

In Yucatan, the price of lemons is down. After a sustained rise of almost 100 percent in the cost of the fruit, in markets and supermarkets, it is regularized little by little, especially when it is purchased wholesale in the Merida supply centers.

During a tour it was found that the amount for a kilo of sour lemon ranged between 39 and 45 pesos in various establishments in the city; while the Persian was quoted at an average of 50 pesos, 15 pesos less than the 65 pesos it reached at the end of February

Bidders from the Casa del Pueblo –in the center of the Yucatecan capital– celebrated the drop in the price of lemons, because as we have reported, several of them faced the need to market inferior quality products, reducing their profits.
