Industry supplies remain limited. Mexican growers have reduced harvesting to create demand-exceeds-supply market. Expect elevated prices for the next two weeks.

Mexico

• All sizes will remain tight as Mexican growers slow harvests to drive up demand
• Size and grade substitutions may be requested to fill orders
• Quality is good; checkerboarding (uneven ripening within a case) has been reported
• Expect elevated markets and tight supplies for the next two weeks

California

• New crop production is in full swing
• California supplies will help fill the void from Mexican-grown product
• Supplies are dominated by medium sizes (48- through 60-count fruit)
• Expect high prices as California helps fill the void from Mexico

Colombia

• Imports will ship into the East Coast through May; these supplies only account for 5% of U.S. demand
• The crop is currently dominated by small sizes (60- to 84-count fruit)
• Quality is comparable to that in Mexico; texture is creamy and oil content is high
