Prices remain elevated; supplies are extremely limited industrywide due to poor quality.

California – Salinas and Santa Maria Valleys

• Markon First Crop (MFC) Sugar Snap Peas are extremely limited out of California; packer label is being substituted as needed
• Rain, cooler nighttime temperatures, and hail from a few weeks ago have contributed to continuing poor quality on domestically grown sugar snap peas
• Scarring, discoloration, dehydration, and pitting are present in most lots, severely reducing yields on the West Coast
• Expect very limited domestic supplies to persist until imported volume from Mexico increases in the next two to three weeks

Imports – Northern Mexico, Guatemala, and Peru

• Supplies are limited; demand has shifted to imports as quality and yields have deteriorated domestically
• Imported stringed varieties are generally more available than stringless
• Quality is marginally better in Peruvian and Guatemalan stocks
• Northern Mexico supplies will enter the market over the next few weeks heading into November
• Expect limited availability and higher pricing until imported volume increases in the next three weeks
