Markets will remain low for the next several weeks as abundant supplies are shipping from the San Joaquin Valley. Markon First Crop (MFC) Cantaloupe and Honeydew are available.
Cantaloupe
- Harvesting is at peak capacity
- Large sizes (9-count and jumbo 9-count) are most plentiful; 15-count melons will remain tighter until second cuts are made
- Quality is great with tight seed cavities and internal sugars hitting 13-16% Brix
- Markets have been inching down due to increasing volume, but will strengthen slightly as supply stabilizes
Honeydew
- Volume has increased
- Five- and jumbo five-count melons are ample, but eight-count fruit is extremely scarce; smaller sizes will become more readily available in a couple of weeks
- Quality is good; sugar levels range from 12-14% Brix
- Prices will remain steady next week; supply is meeting demand
