Produce Market Advisory For the week of July 15, 2019

Produce Meter

Good Fair Caution

MARKET OPPORTUNITIES

Locally Grown Produce – The local season is here for the summer in most parts of the country. Be sure to look at the regional recommendations in A Peek at PeakSeasons on page two.

Avocados –The prolonged shortage of product out of Mexico continues to keep pricing high. Quality is good on what product is available, and #2-grage 48 to 60 CT fruit is the best value. Supplies are expected to drop even further at the end of July, when California’s harvest is finished. Avoid or limit use where possible.

Lettuce – Conditions remain less than ideal on head lettuce. Quality is good to fair, and pricing is 10-15% higher than normal. Green Leaf Crowns, Romaine Hearts and Pre-Cut Product are the best overall values.

Red Bell Peppers – Light harvests out of California and Baja have increased pricing on Red Bells. Quality is good, and Choice Grade is the best value.

Asparagus – Supplies of larger sizes of Asparagus are tight, due to dry conditions and slow harvests out of Mexico. Quality is good, but pricing is higher than normal, with Pencil and Standard being the best values, and Compass’ preferred spec.

Cucumbers – Pricing is up this week on field-grown Cucumbers, largely demand-driven, but in part due to slower harvests in mainland Mexico and Baja California. Quality is good. Select-grade product is the best value, and English (Seedless) product may be a good alternative.

WATERMELON – Quality is excellent and the season is peaking in most growing regions.

GRAPES- Quality is excellent out of Mexico and Coachella CA.

SWEET CORN – It’s peak season for White, Yellow and Bi-color Corn. Quality and pricing are great!

Produce Market Advisory

Market AlertsFor the week of July 15, 2019

Recommended Items to Avoid

Locally Grown Produce – The local season is here for the summer in most parts of the country. Be sure to look at the regional recommendations in A Peekat Peak Seasons on page two.

Avocados –The prolonged shortage of product out of Mexico continues to keep pricing high. Quality is good on what product is available, and #2-grage 48 to 60 CT fruit is the best value. Supplies are expected to drop even further at the end of July, when California’s harvest is finished. Avoid or limit use where possible.

Lettuce – Conditions remain less than ideal on head lettuce. Quality is good to fair, and pricing is 10-15% higher than normal. Green Leaf Crowns, Romaine Hearts and Pre-Cut Product are the best overall values.

Red Bell Peppers – Light harvests out of California and Baja have increased pricing on Red Bells. Quality is good, and Choice Grade is the best value.

Asparagus – Supplies of larger sizes of Asparagus are tight, due to dry conditions and slow harvests out of Mexico. Quality is good, but pricing is higher than normal, with Pencil and Standard being the best values, and Compass’ preferred spec.

Cucumbers – Pricing is up this week on field-grown Cucumbers, largely demand-driven, but in part due to slower harvests in mainland Mexico and Baja California. Quality is good. Select-grade product is the best value, and English (Seedless) product may be a good alternative.
