Volume 49, No. 24 – June 11, 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 95% harvested and movement remains strong down the final stretch of the season. Soft fruit, re-greening and decay are some quality issues that have weakened pack outs and exportability. That said, these challenges and dwindling utilization are not entirely uncommon for this late stage of the season, and we’ve benefited from a period of limited import pressure. Below are the week 23 pricing averages. Peak sizes were 72s and 56s followed by 48s and 88s. Utilization was around 70-80%.

Valencias

Valencias are around 15% harvested and continue to see increased movement on both the domestic and export fronts. Strong internal quality and limited external pest damage have been noted. That said, re-greening has been a challenge that has limited exportability to an extent. We hope to see pricing on valencias trend upwards as the domestic supply of navels continues to dwindle. Below are the week 23 pricing averages. Peak sizing was around 88s, 72s and 56s. 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.

We are around halfway through the D2 lemon season, with fruit said to be coloring up well after some early challenges with green fruit. Although exports have slowed a bit, limited domestic supply and import pressure have helped push prices upwards and stabilize in recent weeks. Despite some challenges with large fruit sizing, fruit quality and movement remain strong. Below are the week 23 pricing averages. Peak sizing has been around 115s, 95s, 140s and 75s. Utilization has been around 70-80%.
