• Suppliers have started production early in Mexico, but numbers remain low
• Quality is fair; soft skins and red cells have been reported
• The Pacific Northwest season has ended
• Expect pricing to remain high

Raspberries

• Growers in Central Mexico have begun shipping limited quantities of raspberries
• Quality is fair; issues include leaky berries with light crumbling (individual cells separate from the berry)
