Prices are escalating. Markon First Crop (MFC) Asparagus is available.
Mexico
- Current quality is fair; elevated levels of feathered/spread tips and reduced shelf-life have been noted
- The Baja season is past peak production and winding down
- Production will move north and east towards Caborca, Sonora, and Mexicali over the next month
- Size is dominated by small spears
- Markets for the extra-large and jumbo sizes remain elevated, while prices for small and standard sizes are at average levels
- Limited supplies are forecast for the next six to eight weeks; there is potential for a short-lived supply gap early next year
Southern Peru
- Availability of imported supplies (shipped into Miami, Florida) is steady to slightly lower as the southern hemisphere enters summer
- Quality is strong and holding up well, despite the longer transit time
- Production out of Northern Peru will be essential to smooth any supply gaps and calm markets over the next one to two months
