Increased Guatemalan cantaloupe and honeydew supplies are pushing down markets this week.

Honeydew

• Imported honeydews are now shipping out of Guatemala into Florida and California

• West Coast volume is slightly higher this week; prices have eased
• The size profile is shifting to larger melons (5- and 6-count fruit)

• Mexican supplies remain snug due to cool weather and rain in the Sonoran growing region; quality is good out of both growing regions
• Expect lower markets as stocks increase over the next 10 days

Cantaloupe

• Imported cantaloupes continue to ship out of Guatemala
• Overall quality is good
• Size is shifting to larger fruit (9- to 12-count melons)
• Prices are slightly lower this week as West Coast shipments increase
