UPDATE: BLUEBERRIES

August 31, 2026

Blueberry prices are expected to remain elevated over the next two to four weeks due to declining production in the Pacific Northwest, light early-season volume from Mexico, and limited arrivals from Peru. As the import season begins, demand is expected to exceed available supply throughout September.

Pacific Northwest

  • Oregon harvest is nearing completion, with most shippers expected to finish next week
  • Washington production is expected to continue for approximately three more weeks
  • Quality is generally good, with occasional soft fruit and shrivel being reported
  • Markets are expected to strengthen as regional supplies continue to decline

Mexico

  • New crop production has started with light harvest volumes
  • Supplies are expected to increase over the next three to four weeks
  • Quality has been reported as good
  • Markets are expected to remain elevated as demand exceeds available supply

Peru

  • Import shipments have started arriving, but volume remains limited early in the season
  • Quality has been reported as good
  • Market activity is expected to be aggressive throughout September as demand outpaces initial arrivals
