Brazil: The Rise of Lime Production in Brazil's Citrus Heartland

Brazil is one of the largest producers and exporters of lime, with the Tahiti variety accounting for 97% of production. Driven primarily by small and medium-sized farmers, lime is becoming increasingly important within Brazil's citrus production, complementing the country's renowned orange industry. Tahiti limes are a hybrid fruit known for their large size, thick green skin, seedless nature, and ability to maintain a vibrant green peel throughout their shelf life.
