The shortage and increase in price of lemon is due to the wave of violence in Michoacan, which has made tradesmen afraid to go to Uruapan and Apatzingn, the main national producers of this fruit, according to Rafael Barrios Dvila.
He said that, for the moment, they opted for bringing lemon from Colima's producing region. In several places the price per kilo reaches the 50 Pesos.
