UPDATE: SQUASH

May 24, 2024

Zucchini and yellow squash markets are active; supplies are snug and prices are climbing. Markon First Crop (MFC) Zucchini and Yellow Squash are available.

  • Mexican growers in Sonora ended their older fields last week, greatly reducing inbound availability into Nogales
    • Quality is good on remaining (newer) crops
    • The Baja peninsula is expected to start early June
  • Georgia’s heavy rain last week limited availability and reduced overall quality; expect improved supplies next week
  • North Carolina is expected to start June 3
  • The California dessert has started in a limited manner; quality is good
  • The Santa Maria coastal region growers will start their season this weekend, initial volume will be minimal
  • Expect higher prices over the next two weeks until the new domestic regions on both coasts boost their production
