Volume 48, No. 44 – October 30, 2025
Disclaimer: The navel prices listed below are reported to CCM from various industry representatives each week. The lemon and grapefruit prices are pulled from USDA and reflect the spot market price. Both sets of data represent a range of prices that are then calculated into an average. Growers should consult their packing houses if they have specific questions about the price they are receiving for their fruit.

Navels
Navels are just starting to get harvested and packed, but we are still at a very early stage of the season. Due to the lack of volume, we don’t have sufficient data to report on pricing this week. We anticipate that we’ll begin reporting pricing data on navels next week.
Overall, we’re hearing that this navel crop should be a good one. A common sentiment shared in the industry is that, compared to last season, fruit count is down, and fruit sizing is up. We expect similar overall volume to last season. The improved sizing, along with high fruit quality, should hopefully support strong pricing and grower returns.

Lemons
*Please note that these lemon prices are from the USDA and include other costs. The prices are used to evaluate trends. They do not reflect the returns growers receive but rather voluntary prices reported to the USDA.
D2 lemon harvesting has concluded for the most part. Lemon harvesting has just begun in D1 and is around 25% through in D3. Overall, we’ve seen good fruit appearance, other than some spotty thrips damage. Utilization has been strong, and peak sizes are 115s, 140s, and 165s. Although it’s still early, it’s been a strong start to the D1 and D3 lemon seasons.
