UPDATE: BELL PEPPERS

March 2, 2023

Bell pepper supplies remain adequate as growers work through remaining winter crops. Markon First Crop (MFC) and Markon Essentials (ESS) Green and Red Bell Peppers are available.

Green Bells

  • Mexican stocks are meeting demand
    • Quality is good with occasional bruising
    • Spring production is expected to start in mid-March
  • Florida growers have moderate winter volume; favorable weather has improved quality
  • Expect markets to increase slightly over the next week

Red Bells

  • Mexican supplies are tight; however, should increase with more sunny weather in Culiacan
  • Overall quality is good; off shape and wind scarring are occasional issues
  • Expect prices to remain steady next week

Please contact your Markon customer service representative for more information.
