- Mexican supplies are tight; cycles of cool weather are affecting yields in all growing regions
- Growers are skipping the odd harvest day to increase diameter/sizing
- Overall quality is good
- Import volume out of Honduras (into Florida) is snug due to less acreage planted this year; overall quality is average
- The Florida domestic season has started in a very limited manner; sufficient volume will be reached in early March, weather permitting
- Expect very high prices over the next two weeks
