The Citrex Fruit Company, using the most modern production methods available, produces the finest quality Key Limes (Citrus aurantifolia) from tropical citrus trees on its farm in central Guatemala. The Citrex co-founders, with their combined fifty years of production, management, farming and export experience, have created a system that produces Key Limes with standards of production, hygiene, social-consciousness and service to satisfy the most demanding markets and consumers.

 

 

 

After conducting a location study that included analysis of the soil , climate , and environmental impact, Citrex selected the property for its Key Lime project and now has 16,000 lime trees, grown from carefully selected seedlings, at its farm in Las Ovejas, Guatemala. The property is 1000 feet above sea level, with a perfect climate for growing Key Limes. Citrex has constructed a 20,000-square foot building in which its processing facilities are located. The region of Las Ovejas is considered underdeveloped, and the local population has welcomed the positive economic and social impact of our farm on their area.
