High prices will persist for two to three weeks amid tight supplies and transitioning growing regions. Markon First Crop Asparagus (MFC) is available; markets for larger sizes remain elevated.

Mexico

• Central Mexico
  • Production is winding down
  • Yields will continue decreasing throughout August
  • Quality is below average
  • Stalks are exhibiting elevated levels of feathering tips and seeder
• Baja
  • Production will continue through October
  • Quality is better due to less persistent heat than in Central Mexico
  • Standard and large sizes are sufficient, but larger sizes are tight

Peru

• Peruvian asparagus (shipped into Miami, Florida) remains available on the East Coast; yields are low but will increase as the southern hemisphere enters the spring season and temperatures increase
