Bondi Produce Market Report January 16th 2023

In South Florida we are seeing lighter supply and firmer markets on green pepper, zucchini, yellow squash, and cucumbers remain very limited until we have sufficient supply from Honduras. Tomato production continues to improve as Florida and Mexico scratch new blocks, but we are nowhere near normal for this time of year as temperatures are below normal. We are still seeing some very high pricing on Serrano and Anaheim peppers due to cold weather in the growing regions in Mexico.

Updates on Sinaloa: due to the violence last week, we are seeing a vast improvement on harvesting and border crossings should be back to normal by the end of the week.

In California, heavy rain events will continue through into the first half of this week. By Mid-week, the rain is supposed to stop, and good weather is in the forecast through the end of January.
