Asparagus prices continue to rise as supplies diminish in Mexico’s Southern Baja and the domestic season closes out. Production is increasing in Central Mexico. Expect elevated markets over the next several weeks.
Mexico
- Markon First Crop (MFC) Asparagus is available; packer label is being substituted as needed
- Production is winding down in Southern Baja; harvests continue to increase in Central Mexico
- Central Mexico will be the primary region through August; some growers delayed field openings following recently depressed market conditions
- Jumbo and extra-large supplies remain limited
- Quality is good; spears are firm with minimal seeding
- Expect strong markets into mid-July
Peru (into South Florida)
- Imports are being shipped into Miami
- Warmer-than-average temperatures have led some growers to conclude seasonal harvests earlier than expected
- Quality ranges from average to good; elevated temperatures have led to dehydration and feathered tips in some lots
- Prices will continue rising as supplies transition from Southern to Northern Peru
Domestic
- The Washington season has concluded
- Michigan supplies are nearly depleted, with only minimal volume remaining this week
- Programs in the Northeast and Eastern Canada are also coming to an end
