UPDATE: STRINGLESS SUGAR SNAP PEAS

April 29, 2026

Markets are climbing as weather-related disruptions in Mexico and Salinas tighten supplies and affect quality.

Mexico

  • Markon First Crop (MFC) Sugar Snap Peas are limited; packer label is being substituted
  • Above-average heat and recent rainfall across Northern Mexico have reduced available yields
  • Quality issues have increased: scarring and discoloration are being reported in most lots
  • Supplies remain tight due to reduced harvestable volume and prevalent defects
  • Expect higher pricing and limited supplies over the next three weeks

Salinas/Santa Maria

  • Ongoing rain events have slowed harvesting throughout the Salinas Valley
  • Excess moisture has contributed to increased quality challenges, including scarring and other cosmetic issues
  • Demand is exceeding available volume, supporting higher markets
  • Expect elevated pricing and quality variability as weather impacts work through the supply chain
