Prices are inching down. While Mexico’s Caborca season has ended, production has transitioned to the Baja Peninsula. Markon First Crop (MFC) Asparagus is available.

Mexico

• Although Baja quality is strong, this is a short season that bridges the gap from Caborca to Central Mexico
• Expect prices to ease through May and early June as more supplies come online and demand from the Easter and Mother’s Day holidays wanes
• Under the existing U.S.-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement (USMCA), Mexican asparagus is not being targeted for additional tariff enforcement

Peru

• Yields are low and quality is poor following high temperatures
• Production will shift to the north of the country this month
• Mother’s Day flower demand has restricted availability for asparagus air/boat freight
• Peru remains a target for additional tariff action by the Trump administration; expect higher FOB pricing in Miami/East Coast ports as a result

U,S. and Canada

• The Pacific Northwest season is in full swing in Idaho and Washington
• Growers will start harvesting in Michigan and Southern Canada this week
• California and South Carolina production is limited
• Expect increased supplies out of multiple regions to further contribute to lower markets by late May through mid- to late June
