What you need to know this week:

Overview:

In South Florida and Mexico, we are seeing more local volume to complement inbounds from the offshore deal on slicer cucumber. Squash and tomato volume is steady while bell pepper remains light, but quality is outstanding! 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 seems to be staying firm as cold temps 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.
