How Lemon Pricing Works

A lemon export price is shaped by grade, count size, carton format, shipment month, quantity, trade term, and destination.

For a deeper breakdown, compare with Lemon Wholesale Price.

When to Buy: Seasonal Price Windows

Main harvest (Sep-Jan): Fresh crop abundant, prices competitive. Shoulder season (Feb-Apr): Supply tightens. Off-season (May-Aug): Highest prices, cold-storage fruit.

How to Request a Better Quote

Include destination port, grade, count size, carton spec, quantity, shipment month, and trade term. Specific requests get accurate pricing.

Use the Lemon Quote Request Template. Compare three quotes with the same spec. See Lemon Supplier Evaluation Checklist.

Negotiation Strategies

Lead with specification, not price. Use quantity as leverage. Time your approach to harvest windows. Compare FOB and CIF separately. Build relationship first. Ask about packing options.

Common Price Mistakes

Comparing grades as equal, mixing FOB and CIF, vague specs, single-supplier negotiation, revealing budget too early.
