The market is rising; supplies crossing through U.S.-Mexican border have decreased and seasonal/Easter demand is strong.

• Labor shortages and increased border inspections have created an artificial shortfall in the market
• Holy week and Easter will decrease harvesting crews and customs personnel availability
• Current size profile is skewed towards larger sizes, increasing prices for regular/medium packs
• Overall quality is strong; insect pressure and off color are occasional issues
• Product will continue to cross from Mexico until California production begins in Oxnard in May followed by Salinas in July
• Expect stronger markets for the next 7-10 days as demand rises
