Although California and Texas are increasing production, some chile varieties remain snug. Markon First Crop (MFC) Chile Peppers are limited; packer label is being substituted as needed.

Mexico

• Pest and disease pressure reduced yields early in the season
• Reduced plantings have kept prices elevated
• Pasilla quality problems have tightened this variety the most
• Demand is strong within Mexico, reducing availability to the US and Canadian markets

United States

• Texas production is fully underway
• California harvests are increasing, easing prices for Jalapeno and Anaheim peppers
• The Georgia season is expected to begin in two to three weeks
• Prices will remain elevated until domestic production ramps up
