Squash prices are climbing due to diminishing supplies and quality. Recent hot weather and rain have been factors on the East Coast.

• East Coast volume is tightening
  • Recent weather has accelerated crop transitions
  • Quality in the Carolinas is average; yellow squash stocks are experiencing discoloration issues
  • Supplies are expected to increase in New Jersey and Virginia over the Fourth of July weekend
  • Additional harvesting has started in Kentucky and Michigan (along with other smaller regional deals)
• The West Coast has steady volume from the Baja Peninsula, Santa Maria, and the San Joaquin Valley; however, increased demand has pushed up prices
• Expect markets to ease over the next two weeks as production begins in new growing regions
