• Mexican supplies are snug due to strong demand

• All sizes are available; No. 1 grade stocks are tight
• Quality is good

• • Expect firm, dark skinned cucumbers
  • Wind scarring an occasional concern

• Imported Honduran supplies have declined significantly

• A wide range in quality is observed in most lots
