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
