Volume 48, No. 49 – December 4, 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.
Please note: We did not report on week 47 data due to Thanksgiving.

Navels
Navels are around 10-15% harvested. The increased volume of domestic supply and early abundance of larger fruit is likely contributing to some of the drops in pricing averages, as seen below for week 48. Peak sizes were 88s, 72s and 113s. Utilization stood around 75% and fruit quality has been high.

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.
