Prices are steady but poised to rise when demand strengthens later this month. Markon First Crop (MFC) Asparagus is available.
Mexico
- Current quality is good and shelf-life potential is strong
- Mild weather is promoting growth but the season is well past peak production
- Size distribution is heavily skewed towards small spears,
- Markets for the extra-large and jumbo sizes are elevated
- Substituting small packs for standard or large sizes could yield considerable FOB cost savings at this time
- Expect markets to rise steadily through November as demand increases
Southern Peru
- Imported stocks (shipped into Miami, Florida) are tight
- Quality is below that of Mexican asparagus
- Production will continue to wind down before moving further north next month
