Prices remain elevated. Supplies are extremely limited.

California – Salinas and Santa Maria Valleys

• Quality problems persist; cooler temperatures, shorter days, wind, and overnight frosts have shortened shelf-life
  • External pitting, scarring, small sizing, and water damage are prevalent
  • Heavy culling has reduced yields at the field level
• Expect limited supplies to persist as the season wraps up in early December

Imports – Northern Mexico and Peru

• Peruvian supplies are tight but are helping to supplement the market; quality is slightly better
• Some product grown in Northern Mexico is beginning to enter the market; production is behind schedule
• Markets will remain elevated until harvesting ramps up in mid- to late December
• Imported ‘semi-stringless and stringed’ varieties are more readily available, at comparable pricing (loading in LA)
