Volume 48, No. 47 – November 20, 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 around 5-10% harvested and starting to move in larger volumes as the season progresses. Overall, we’re expecting similar volume to last season with a lower fruit count and larger fruit sizing. Fruit quality has been good.
Please see below the navel pricing averages for week 46. The increased volume of domestic supply is likely contributing to the decline in average prices. Peak sizes were 88s, 72s, and 113s. Utilization was around 80%.

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.
Lemons are around 50% harvested in D3 and 10% harvested in D1. Increased volume of domestic supply is likely contributing to the recent drops in pricing averages, as seen below. Overall, we’re hearing of good fruit appearance, color and sizing with high internal quality.
