Limited supplies and strong Fourth of July holiday demand is driving the market higher. MFC Asparagus is available.
Mexico
- Production is slowly transitioning from Baja to Central Mexico; persistent heat stress has lowered yields by causing seeder and feathered tips, forcing growers to move to new fields sooner than scheduled
- Tropical storm systems crossing over Central Mexico may lead to additional supply challenges next week
- Sufficient supplies are expected in Central Mexico in August, but high prices and limited supplies are expected from mid- to late July
Other Regions
- The Michigan and Canadian seasons have ended
- Peruvian asparagus (shipped into Miami) remains available in the Eastern U.S.
- Size is small amid cooler temperatures
- Large, extra-large, and jumbo sizes are tight across all regions
