What you need to know this week:
Overview:
In Florida and Mexico, we are seeing good volume on green pepper, cucumber, zucchini, yellow squash and improving numbers on hot peppers. Tomato production continues to improve as growers in Florida and Mexico scratch new blocks. Good volume on romas and snacking tomatoes are slowly improving.
We are seeing some cooler weather invade Mexico which may slow production a bit but nothing too concerning. We need to watch a cold front that will dip into Florida that might affect crops in Central and Southern Florida. We continue to see very high pricing on Serrano and Anaheim peppers due to cold weather impacting the growing regions in Mexico. In Yuma, the recent cold weather appears to be behind us as temperatures are improving in the desert and California growing regions with only very light traces of Lettuce ice being reported and going into next week.
