Pineapple supplies are currently at a seasonal low. Last spring’s high temperatures and increased rainfall have reduced availability during the crop transition that takes place from August through September.

• Pineapple availability is currently constrained, as growers are transitioning between the existing and new crops:
  • Current crop volume is low due to premature blooming
  • New crop fruit is not yet ready for harvest
• Sizing is skewed toward smaller sizes
  • Large sizes are limited
  • Flexibility on orders—especially for seven- and eight-count fruit—will  improve coverage
• Expect tight Costa Rican supplies for the next six weeks as new crop production ramps up
• Prices are higher and will continue rising
