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

Mexico

• New crop quality ranges from very good to excellent
• Production continues to ramp up in Caborca, Mexico
• All sizes, extra-large and jumbo in particular, are seeing increasing availability alongside additional harvests
• Additional customs enforcement. inspections, and checkpoints on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border have led to some delays in product crossings, but truly abundant supplies will help avoid any shortages that could result in such issues throughout the next two to three weeks
• Expect markets to ease over the next two to four weeks as additional acreage comes online and weather warms

Peru

• Supplies (shipped into Miami, Florida) are tight; volume is extremely low amid hot weather during the Peruvian summer
• Quality is fair, with much longer transit times relative to Mexican-grown product
• Should tariffs add cost to Mexican supplies, Peru may act as a small relief valve, but it will not be able to support all national demand
