Central American cantaloupe and honeydew markets remain elevated. Supplies are tight due to limited space available on cargo ships and increased freight costs.

• Imported supplies are shipping out of Guatemala, Honduras, and Costa Rica
• Mexican honeydews are being used as necessary to fill orders
• West Coast supplies remain in a demand-exceeds-supply situation
• East Coast prices are slightly lower as availability is slightly higher
• Overall quality is fair; bruising and over ripened fruit are occasional issues caused by increased travel times
• Expect elevated markets and tight supplies into March
