Red bell peppers will begin transitioning from the Southern California growing region to Mexico over the next week. Light demand and steady markets are expected for the next 7-10 days. Markon First Crop and Markon Essentials Green and Red Bell Peppers are available.

Red Bell Peppers

• The California desert season will come to an end over the next few weeks
• The main transition to Mexico (crossing through Nogales) will occur beginning of January; quality is excellent
• Expect steady prices over the next week

Green Bell Peppers

• Mexican volume is light this week due to cooler weather and reduced harvest labor during the holiday season
• Most Florida growers escaped frost damage as they started new fields in southern regions of the state
• Sizing is dominated by jumbo and extra-large bell peppers
• Expect prices to ease over the next two weeks
