Finger Limes for the Specialty Produce Market

Abstract

Within the United States, the finger lime is beginning to gain popularity and could eventually become more mainstream as the crop supply increases and the crop price decreases. As production increases, prices in the local market will likely decline. This could stimulate the local demand for finger limes as they become more accessible to a wider cross-section of consumers. Drawbacks include the current high retail price for the crop, limiting the growth in its demand; labor requirements for harvesting the crop; and the need to optimize production practices.
