UPDATE: ASPARAGUS

July 16, 2026

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
