B.C. Restaurant Association and Ian Tostenson

Ian Tostenson: Ian Tostenson with the B.C. Restaurant Association says up until a few months ago cases of limes were being sold for $30 to $40. , according to Huffington Post. Tostenson says weather destroyed this season lime crop in Florida, forcing suppliers to rely on sources in Mexico. For many a slice of lime is just a garnish, but a shortage of the green citrus fruit linked to bad weather, tree worm infestations and a Mexican drug cartel is putting the squeeze on many restaurants and bars in Canada. Now, cases are being sold for up to $200. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
