UPDATE: SQUASH

March 12, 2026

Prices have eased in Florida; plants have rebounded in South Florida due to ideal weather post winter freeze. Markon First Crop (MFC) Zucchini and Yellow Squash are available.

Florida

  • Production has increased due to ideal weather and weak demand
  • Overall quality is good
  • Expect lower markets next week

Mexico

  • Volume is moderate
  • Sonora will experience hot weather this week (mid-90s), which will increase yields
  • Yellow squash yields are lower than zucchini
  • Quality ranges from average to very good; occasional mechanical scarring has been reported
  • Prices will inch down over the next two weeks as East Coast buyers shift orders back to Florida
