Prices for all sizes have risen this week. Peruvian imports shipping into Miami, Florida are limited; pressure on Mexico supplies has increased as they undergo transition from the coast to Central/Northern Mexico.

Mexico

• Supplies are being harvested in Baja and Sonora
• Sizing is dominated by small-diameter stalks as new fields are being harvested; cooler weather and shorter days have limited maturation
• Large and jumbo sizes are tighter than previous weeks; quality is down
• Feathery tips and inconsistent size are being reported; harvesters are having to sort through fields, causing poor yield and failure to meet specifications

Peru

• The season is winding down in Southern Peru as temperatures climb
• Most production is moving to fields in Northern Peru; overcast conditions in the region has delayed production
• Newer fields are yielding smaller diameter stocks, increasing demand for larger sizes
• Australian and European seasons have come to an end, further increasing global demand
• FOB remains comparable from both regions; some freight savings are available for Eastern DC’s
