UPDATE: GREEN BEANS

October 13, 2026

The green bean market is active. Supplies are extremely limited on both coasts due to weather disruptions, early season finishes, and regional harvesting transitions. Ready-Set-Serve (RSS) Trimmed Green Beans are available.

  • East Coast supplies remain extremely limited as Northern and Midwestern districts end production and Southeastern acreage ramps up
    • The Michigan season is nearly finished
    • Production ended earlier than expected in Canada and New York
    • Current volume is concentrated in Virginia and the Eastern Shore of North Carolina
    • Rain and storms have slowed harvests in North Florida; Georgia supplies should increase availability over the next week, but recovery may be uneven
  • West Coast supplies are snug after recent inclement weather
    • California production is down to a few growers
    • Heat has reduced yields
    • Quality is fair; rust has been reported
  • Baja production was further disrupted by Tropical Storm Rachel
    • Growers have reported crop losses in coastal fields
    • Official weather agencies continue to flag unsettled conditions across parts of Baja and Western Mexico, limiting near-term relief
    • Transitions to Jalisco and Los Mochis are upcoming, but immediate improvement will be limited
  • Guatemala remains a supplemental source; however, current volume is not sufficient to offset domestic and Mexican shortfalls
  • Expect elevated prices and limited availability for at least the next two to four weeks
