Volume 49, No. 21 – May 21, 2026

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 90% harvested. Movement remains strong, and import pressure is limited for the time being. Some re-greening has been noted, and the continued abundance of large sizes has led to marketing challenges all season. That said, pricing remains relatively steady as domestic supply dwindles.

Below are the week 20 pricing averages. Peak sizes were 56s and 72s and followed by 48s and 88s. Utilization was around 70-80%.

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.

D1 lemons are just under 100% harvested as we transition into the bulk of the D2 lemon season. Peak sizes in D1 are finishing around 115s, 95s, 140s, and 75s with utilization around 80%. D2 lemons are around 40% harvested and are peaking around 115s, 95s, 140s and 165s. A warm March led to some fruit drop, which is typical. It has been noted that the color is turning well, despite some early challenges with green fruit. Import pressure is limited for the time being.

Below are the week 20 pricing averages.
