Prices are starting to rise. Mexico’s Caborca season is winding down; cool weather is slowing growth. The Peruvian season has ended. Markon First Crop (MFC) Asparagus is available.

Mexico

• Quality ranges from good to very good
• Production is past its peak in Caborca, Mexico; harvesting will transition west towards the Baja peninsula, as a bridge between the Caborca and Central Mexico season in early June
• All sizes are readily available with minimal price spreads between small and large sizes, but markets are inching higher across the board
• Expect prices to climb, especially as strong demand ramps up for the Easter holiday in April

Peru

• Supplies are no longer shipping into Florida; hot weather during the Peruvian summer combined with competitive Mexican markets have forced growers to cease production at this time of year
• Should tariffs add costs to Mexican supplies, Peru may act as a small relief valve, but this region will not be able to support all national demand and provide only minimal relief until at least early May
