Asparagus markets are showing slight signs of easing, but supplies remain constrained out of Mexico. Expect low volume and firm markets through July.

Mexico

• Markon First Crop (MFC) Asparagus is available; packer label is being substituted as needed
• Southern Baja production has concluded; Central Mexico is now the primary growing region
• Heavy rainfall across Central Mexico has reduced yields and increased quality concerns
• Jumbo and extra-large sizes remain especially limited and are expected to remain tight through the summer
• Quality is generally fair to good, although there are occasional reports of wet tips and early decay due to recent rains
• Markets are easing slightly; however, supplies remain limited due to ongoing size and quality challenges

Peru (into South Florida)

• Prices are moderately lower
• Warmer-than-average weather patterns have caused quality challenges and reduced overall yields
• Quality ranges from fair to average; some lots are exhibiting dehydration and feathered tips
• Expect elevated markets into August
