How Mexico Grows Limes On Orange Trees To Supply The US | Big Business | Business Insider

The price of limes was three times higher than normal at the start of 2022. Droughts, freezes, and floods threatened the health of the fruit. We head to Veracruz, Mexico, to see how one farm is harvesting and processing millions of limes in the face of growing instability.

    There's a situation which is not mentioned about growing limes. Certain areas are affected by this over-production for export only. The land started to change its own nutrients; droughts are more common these days in those areas because the need from the plant to grow. There's not enough water for closer town of this companies. one of the biggest examples is Michoacán. Also, this plantation industry keeps occupying a lot of spaces of closer woods, cutting down the trees to no disturb the growing from them. And no to mention the corruption problem this companies bring to the government and the permisions to expand their lands.

When you buy a Lime, Orange, Tangelo, Grapefruit, Tangerine, Dansee, Portugal or edible citrus fruit plant from our Ministry of Agriculture, the rootstock is Sour Orange. Trinidad & Tobago.

    This documentary makes it sound like grafting is a new thing because of climate change, but it's been in use for decades for mass production. Almost ALL avocados are grafted. This isn't anything new, but they used the lime shortage to try and present it as "this new thing because of climate change". Crop failures have happened all throughout history even in antiquity for various reasons.

    Why would they not mention all the other plants that get grafted? Like tomatoes grafted onto potato rootstocks? It's literally because they "like bringing you SOME facts, while pushing an agenda." Else they would have taken the extra 1 minute to explain how grafting is used in MANY other plants, and how it's FAR from being new.

    Grafting is done to just about every fruit tree sold in stores, its something you can do yourself. You can also do it to members of the nightshade family, and get many different fruits on the same tree. If they had left some orange branches on, it would have produced both limes and oranges. Grafted plants have larger fruit, and more of it. They also have the immunities of both parent plants, rather than just one. You could, for example, graft lemons, limes and oranges together, to tomatoes and potatoes. In fact a company called Territorial seed company frequently advertises grafted potato and tomato plants called "Ketchup and fries." You can also use the same grafting tape to fix a broken stem, which I did once with first aid tape when i broke a mexican sunflower plant.

    One thing I might add is that the "Orange tree" rootstock, generally isn't from regular Orange trees. Most citrus trees are grafted onto Trifoliate orange (poncirus trifoliate) rootstock. Sometimes called a hardy orange, they have golf ball size fruit that is full of seeds. They are also sometimes called a flying dragon tree due to the large twisted thorns covering the tree. Thay are hardy down to -10 F. My trees have actually lived thru -16 F, with no problems. So, grafted on orange trees....yes, but possibly not oranges as we normally think of.

    The Veracruz lime production has even bigger potential, as they have grown the sales to the USA by over 100% in the last decade, the Mexican producers should also be looking at VALUE ADDING to the business, with many other products that could be manufactured from the limes themselves, and possibly even using the limes that are not the required size or shape, or they have bumps, marks or rashes on the skin, but the juice is still good for the "value adding" of products such as SAUCES (chilli, lime, garlic, parsley etc.) maybe fruit juices, and fruit "cordial drinks" (like Bickfords), tangy sweets, lime and other flavor yogurts, lime flavored ice cream, dips with lime flavor (possibly including guacamole) And the potentially "biggies" "lime infused" BEER, and lime flavored LIQUOR DRINKS (like certain types of RUM, VODKA, TEQUILA or GIN) some of these products could be popular for the export market. Most of the "rich" countries are not good for growing limes, as they are in "colder climates" Even just the 100% lime juice, in a glass bottle for the export market, never underestimate "super-food" products.

    @@TamagoHead I'm guessing it would have been observed prior to written history, probably even more than post written history, as people were beginning to detach from nature as writing was starting. Yew trees are a bit different, but have a look into them, they're often found in church yards in Europe & considered sacred, but they weren't planted there because of that, the church was built there because of them! They naturally hollow out over time & get hollowed out by humans to live in & all sorts of stuff. I'm not sure if their branches "graft" onto themselves or not, but they're probably doing similar stuff, close enough to give an idea of what people were seeing & understanding of trees before a time when most people were literate. I doubt people would have been intentionally grafting plant types that we graft today before written history, back then, they were more interested in increasing seed sizes & getting them all to mature at the one time & other stuff that today we refer to as "domestication". Domestication of plants occurred on every continent (except Antarctica & Zealandia, due to no humans there)

    High prices never flow down to small producers. distributors and wholesalers can take advantage of you. What you might do, is form a coop. Work with other small farmers. If you are bigger, distributors might pay higher. large scale distributor do not want to buy from 100 farms. they might pay more, so they can go to 1 person for their needs.
