UPDATE: SQUASH

January 14, 2026

Supplies of zucchini and yellow squash remain tight in both Florida and Mexico due to recent cool winter conditions, leading to stronger markets. Markon First Crop (MFC) Zucchini and Yellow Squash are available.

Mexico

  • West Mexico supply is light due to last week’s cooler temperatures and rain
  • Zucchini volumes are lower; overall demand has increased
  • Yellow squash had less acreage planted this year
  • Overall quality is good with limited misshape and scarring

Florida

  • Cooler weather forecasted in Florida is expected to lower yields
  • High demand and lower plantings for the winter season has increased markets
  • Recent cool weather caused bloom drop, decreasing yields
  • Expect higher squash markets for the next two weeks
