Guatemalan cantaloupe and honeydew supplies are ample; prices are steady.

Honeydews

• Honeydews are now being harvested out of both Mexico and Guatemala
• Mexican supplies are snug while Guatemalan supplies are plentiful
• The Mexican season is expected to finish up in January before moving offshore until the domestic season begins in early May
• Quality is fair out of both regions; ground spotting, wind scarring, and bruising are occasional issues
• Expect honeydew pricing to increase once transition is complete in mid-January

Cantaloupe

• Guatemalan cantaloupes are now arriving in Florida and Southern California
• Mexican supplies are being used to fill orders when necessary
• Guatemalan cantaloupe quality is fair; bruising and overripe fruit are occasional issues due to long travel times
