What you need to know this week:
Overview:
In South Florida and Mexico, we continue to see light supply on slicer cucumber, yellow squash and bell pepper. Tomato production in Florida was lighter this week, but good production continues in the west.
The corn market will be very short, as the freeze is now affecting the crop, causing extremely low yields and unexpected loss. The hot pepper market is staying firm as cold temperatures and weather damage are causing shortfalls this season, with Serrano and Anaheim the highest priced and shortest available.
Honeydew and cantaloupe have become quite a challenge due to cooler weather and will most likely not improve until mid-late March Weather. Asparagus volumes out of Mexico remain very limited due to cold weather and logistical issues, but the latter part of this week had better asparagus supply.
