January 28, 2025

Overall zucchini supplies are improving this week; markets are easing. Yellow squash volume remains low, but prices are fairly stable. Markon First Crop (MFC) Zucchini and Yellow Squash are available.

  • Zucchini yields are increasing due to favorable weather in Western Mexico
    • Yellow squash availability remains tight; this crop typically takes longer to rebound
    • Overall quality is average with bruising and scarring the main concerns
    • Growers will harvest new acreage this week, increasing overall volume and quality
  • Yellow squash is limited due to low temperatures and limited winter plantings in Florida
    • Zucchini is in decent supply; stocks are starting to increase due to warmer weather
    • Overall quality is good
    • Higher temperatures are forecast in Florida; yields will climb
  • Expect lower zucchini prices and steady, yet elevated markets for yellow squash this week
