Increased domestic chile production eased pricing for some varieties. Markon First Crop (MFC) Chile Peppers are available.

Mexico

• Supplies are increasing as new growing regions come online, but overall supply remains below normal
• Jalapeno and tomatillo markets have dropped sharply over the past few weeks due to higher volume
• Anaheim and Serrano prices are inching down slightly, while Poblano markets remain elevated
• Red Fresnos will remain extremely limited for the next three to four weeks; limited plantings and poor quality have reduced yields dramatically

United States

• Several weeks of harvesting in Texas have significantly lowered prices for Jalapenos and tomatillos
• Steady supplies out of California will continue to push down prices for most varieties
• The Florida season is wrapping up next week, while Georgia production remains two weeks away; lower East Coast pricing is driven more by weak demand than by significant supply levels
• The California desert season is underway; San Joaquin Valley production will begin in mid-June
• Expect most chile varieties to return to normal volume by June
