Mexican asparagus volume is peaking; prices are steady.

Mexico

• Markon First Crop (MFC) Asparagus is available
• Caborca, Sonora, and Mexicali are the main growing regions currently in production
• The Caborca season is reaching peak production
• The crop is dominated by standard and large spears; jumbo and extra-large sizes remain tight
• Quality is good; spears are straight and firm with minimal spreading/seeding
• Expect markets to remain steady to slightly higher as Easter demand picks up throughout this month

Peru

• Peruvian suppliers are preparing for the next marketable cycle, as Mexican shipments will start to slow in late March
• Some fields in Northern Peru remain open, producing minimal stocks
• Pricing is generally higher than in Mexico
• Quality is fair; shelf-life is generally shorter due to longer transit times
• Expect minimal Peruvian availability until the start of April
