Our weekly Market News highlight summary is here! Continue reading for an update on the produce industry:
LIMES: Market is quite active this week and prices are rising daily. Strong demand and extremely light volume continue to strain the supply chain. We are at risk of seeing some pro-rates if we cannot secure enough fruit at the border for contracts. It’s imperative we remain flexible on sizes to maintain service levels through this market challenge.
SPINACH: Overall good quality, size, and texture. Slight discoloration present from ice damage and colder weather.
AVOCADOS: Supplies are good. Markets are steady with some corrections depending on the size. Smaller sizes will feel the most pressure. Fruit is smaller from Mexico.
BLACKBERRIES: Steady supply through January. We are entering the transition period between the early and mid-part of the central Mexico season. The transition will keep the volume steady.
RASPBERRIES: Supply is low due to cool temperatures throughout all growing regions, as well as rains in California. California supply will remain relatively low throughout the next several months.
