UPDATE: ASPARAGUS

January 31, 2025

Elevated markets are beginning to ease. Peruvian imports are tight but Mexican production will increase steadily throughout February. Markon First Crop (MFC) Asparagus is available.

Mexico

  • New crop MFC Asparagus quality ranges from very good to excellent
  • Production out of Northwestern Mexico (Caborca) will continue to ramp up slowly over the next two to three weeks
  • Extra-large and jumbo-size supplies remain limited, but availability is increasing alongside additional harvests
  • Additional customs enforcement and inspections on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border has led to more delays
  • Despite these challenges, markets will continue to ease over the next two to four weeks as production surges and weather warms

Peru

  • Stocks (shipped into Miami, Florida) are tightening; yields are decreasing amid hot weather
  • Quality is fair and holding up well despite longer transit times
