Pricing on smaller sizes (60- to 70-count fruit) has stabilized as supplies increase. However, markets for larger sizes (32- to 48-count fruit) continue to increase due to limited availability. To help reduce costs while maintaining supply, Markon recommends substituting 48-count fruit with 60-count fruit whenever possible.

Mexico

• Large sizes (32- to 48-count supplies) continue to rise in price due to limited availability
• Small sizes (60- to 70-count stocks) have stabilized and pricing has softened
• No. 2-grade fruit is limited and may need to substituted with No. 1-grade stocks
• Quality is good
  • Checkerboarding (uneven ripening within a case) has been reported
  • Current dry matter is 27% and will take fruit longer to ripen
• Expect lower markets over the next four weeks

California/Peru

• Yields will diminish as these seasons wind down through late August
• Remaining quality is good; checkerboarding (uneven ripening) has been reported
• Expect stable pricing through the end of both seasons
