• The Salinas season will end in three weeks; high heat and rain have heavily impacted quality and reduced yields
• Supplies will remain very scarce in the Arizona-California desert region through December
• Quality is poor; discoloration, puffiness, seeder, and small size are prevalent, diminishing overall volume
• Large sizes have been especially affected by quality issues; jumbos are currently unavailable due to shelf-life challenges
• The Mexican season is anticipated to begin by late December; full production is expected by the second week of January 2026
• A limited supply of imported product is available at South Texas shipping points as a supplemental option over the next several weeks
• Expect persistently high pricing and extremely limited supplies for the next three weeks; relief is anticipated once Mexican production ramps up in early January
