Rounds

• East Coast and Midwest
  • Tennessee is in full production; Michigan is ramping up this week

• Mexico
  • Production has fallen below that of U.S. growers
  • Supplies will increase in Baja and Central Mexico in September
  • Quality is good, but size is smaller than other reasons
• California
  • Round harvesting is at its peak
  • Jumbo and extra-large sizes are most plentiful
• Markets are inching up due to lower total volume

Romas

• East Coast
  • Supplies are steady in Tennessee
  • Some quality issues are present due to recent rain
• Mexico
  • Moderate volume is shipping from Central Mexico and Baja
  • Expect a slight improvement over the next two weeks

• Prices are up slightly due to lower yields

Grape and Cherry

• East Coast
  • Volume has tapered off this week in Virginia, but will rebound in September
