UPDATE: ASPARAGUS

January 13, 2025

Although prices are elevated, they are beginning to ease. Peruvian imports are helping cover orders amid tight Mexican supplies. Markon First Crop (MFC) Asparagus is available.

Mexico

  • 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 production increases

Peru

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