Blackberry, blueberry, and raspberry supplies are tightening. Blueberry volume will remain the most challenged over the next four weeks.

Blueberries

• Import shipments from Chile and Peru are ending

• Mexican-grown supplies are past their peak; labor issues and transportation blockades from the cartel have also caused disruptions
• The Florida season has been delayed by four weeks due to unseasonably cold weather; some growers experienced upwards of 50% crop loss
• Expect limited stocks through April; yields will increase once California’s San Joaquin Valley season begins
• Prices are elevated

Blackberries/Raspberries

• Supply levels are past their peak in Central Mexico; labor issues and transportation blockades from the cartel have also caused disruptions
• Mexico’s Baja season has begun, but volume isn’t high enough to fill the shortages out of Central Mexico
• Expect low yields through March, but stocks should increase shortly after
• The market is high
