Prices continue to rise; poor weather is interrupting production in Mexico; jumbo and extra-large sizes are extremely limited.
Mexico
- Markon First Crop (MFC) Asparagus is limited out of Baja, Mexico
- Tropical storms will bring heavy rainfall to major growing regions in Baja and Sonora, Mexico this weekend
- Rain and wind are expected to minimize yields, reducing overall imported supplies
- Jumbo and extra-large sizes are especially tight as mature fields are forced to close early due to weather conditions
- Quality ranges from fair to average; undersized and wrinkling spears have been reported, as well as spreading/seeding tips
- Expect higher pricing and lower availability, especially of jumbo sizes, over the next 7-10 days
Peru
- Peruvian supply levels are normalizing following recent shipping disruptions this past month
- Quality is good; spears have firm tips and minimal spreading/seeding
