UPDATE: ASPARAGUS

January 22, 2026

Cold, rainy weather is moving into the Mexican asparagus-growing regions; prices are expected to climb.

Mexico

  • Markon First Crop (MFC) Asparagus is available
  • Low temperatures are forecast heading into next week, which will slow growth that had been aided by recent warm weather
  • Caborca supplies are on the rise; the season will peak by mid-February
  • Quality is good; spears are firm with minimal spreading/seeding
  • Expect markets to rise over the next two to three weeks

Peru

  • The season is ending, ceding market share to new crop supplies from Mexico
  • Jumbos and extra-large sizes remain available
  • Quality is good; however, shelf-life is generally shorter due to longer transit times
  • Expect minimal Peruvian availability and higher pricing comparable to Mexican markets
