Markon First Crop Asparagus is available; markets for larger sizes remain elevated.

Mexico

• Production is winding down in Central Mexico; yields will continue decreasing throughout August
  • Quality is below average; stalks are exhibiting elevated levels of spread tips and seeder
• Production from the southern Baja peninsula is also underway and will continue through October; quality is better due to less heat and rain
  • Sufficient supplies of standard and large sizes are available, but larger sizes are tighter
• High prices are expected to persist another two to three weeks at minimum

Peru

• Peruvian asparagus (shipped into Miami) remains available on the East Coast; yields will increase as southern hemisphere enters their spring season and temperatures increase
