In Oxkutzcab it is sold at $ 1,000 per 20 kg box
OXKUTZCAB.— Because consumption increases during these Easter holidays, the lime was sold this week for 1,000 pesos per 20-kilo box.
In the region, this citrus fruit is widely consumed in juice, as well as to prepare the famous lime soup dish.
The sale of citrus fruits in the markets of the city has remained on the rise: the lemon maintains its price of $ 400, and the sweet orange is quoted at $ 100, both per box.
The green sour orange reached $ 150; the yellow sour orange is between $ 70 and $ 80, and the green mandarin is sold for $ 150, in all cases per box.
Due to the High Week, the price of chaya per box is $ 50, although its regular price is $ 25.
According to the farmer Pedro Nájera Celis, in the first quarter of the year the prices of the crops have been very favorable for the farmers, who will thus have resources to improve their orchards, to pay for irrigation and fertilization of the plants. This last process is very important because the sweet orange is in full bloom, he said.— Megamedia
