What you need to know this week:

Overview:

In South Florida and Mexico, we will see ample supply on slicer cucumbers, green squash, corn and tomatoes; volume continues to be low on peppers in both growing regions and quality will be hit and miss. The hot pepper market seems to be slowly improving with Serrano and Anaheim the highest priced and shortest available. Offshore melons continue to be tight and are expected to be this way through the rest of the season.

California continues to receive rain with another storm in the forecast for early next week. This additional rain will continue to significantly affect the Spring crops that had already been planted and will continue to affect fields that were ready to be planted. Growers will not be able to report the total impact until they can get back into the fields after the rain stops and assess the full impact of the rain and flooding.
