UPDATE: ASPARAGUS

January 2, 2025

Prices are elevated but have peaked. Peruvian imports continue to help sate demand amid light production in Mexico. Markon First Crop (MFC) Asparagus is available.

Mexico

  • Current MFC Asparagus quality is excellent
  • Production out of northeastern Mexico (Caborca, Sonora, and Mexicali) will continue to ramp up slowly over the next month
  • Extra-large and jumbo-size supplies remain limited, but availability should increase alongside additional harvesting
  • Expect markets to ease over the next two to four weeks as Mexican production increases

Peru

  • Stocks (shipped into Miami, Florida) are sufficient
  • Quality is strong and holding up well despite the longer transit time
  • Production out of Northern Peru continues to be an essential source of nationwide supplies
