Prices are elevated and supplies are extremely limited industrywide due to poor quality caused by inclement weather.

California – Salinas and Santa Maria Valleys

• Markon First Crop (MFC) Sugar Snap Peas are extremely limited out of California; packer label is being substituted
• Temperature fluctuations, rain, and hail have all contributed to the very poor quality of domestically grown sugar snap peas
• Small size, scarring, discoloration, water damage, and pitting are prevalent, severely reducing yields to extreme lows
• Expect very limited domestic supplies to persist until the Northern California season wraps up in early December

Imports – Northern Mexico, Guatemala, and Peru

• Supplies are tight; demand has shifted to imports as quality and volume have deteriorated domestically
• Some imported stringed varieties are more readily available than stringless
• Quality is marginally better in Peruvian, Mexican, and Guatemalan stocks
• Expect limited availability and higher pricing until imported volume begins to increase in the next four to six weeks
