Prices continue to rise this week, especially for the large and jumbo sizes. Markon First Crop (MFC) Asparagus is available out of Baja, Mexico.
Mexico
- Product is being sourced primarily from Central Mexico and Baja
- Prices continue to escalate
- Production in both regions has moved past the seasonal peak; growers are breaking into new, immature lots
- Large sizes will remain limited and higher-priced over the next 7-10 days at minimum
- Expect to see twice the price for the largest sizes (jumbo and extra-large) as that of the smallest sizes (small and standard)
- Mexican asparagus is not being targeted for additional duties by the U.S. government at this time
Peru
- Yields are low, limiting supplies shipped into the East Coast and driving prices higher
- Quality ranges from fair to poor, but is improving with cooler weather
- Production is focused in the north of the country
