Cold, rainy weather is moving into the Mexican asparagus-growing regions; prices are expected to climb.
Mexico
- Markon First Crop (MFC) Asparagus is available
- Low temperatures are forecast heading into next week, which will slow growth that had been aided by recent warm weather
- Caborca supplies are on the rise; the season will peak by mid-February
- Quality is good; spears are firm with minimal spreading/seeding
- Expect markets to rise over the next two to three weeks
Peru
- The season is ending, ceding market share to new crop supplies from Mexico
- Jumbos and extra-large sizes remain available
- Quality is good; however, shelf-life is generally shorter due to longer transit times
- Expect minimal Peruvian availability and higher pricing comparable to Mexican markets
