Our weekly Market News highlight summary is here! Continue reading for an update on the produce industry:
ASPARAGUS: Quality and demand are good, and the market is slightly higher.
BRUSSELS SPROUTS: Sprout production for the category will be challenging again for the coming week. Insufficient supplies of good quality raw material have effectively shut down production on all SKUs.
AVOCADOS: Market pricing was steady last week, and we saw some increases on big fruit, but small fruit seems unaffected by the ‘rain market’. If harvest remains strong, we may see decreased field pricing in two weeks.
MUSHROOMS: Quality is good, although supply is extremely short and market is higher primarily due to a lack of labor, shortages in components of growing such as peat moss. We do expect this trend to continue through the first of the year.
GREEN ONIONS: Market is extremely active due to supply shortage with many growers in northern Mexico because of the extremely hot weather and high humidity the past two months.
