MARKET REPORT | · S E P T E M B E R 2 N D , 2 0 1 7 ·

Apples Washington is still gapping on Granny-smith apples and supplies of Gold Supremes and Gingergolds are very short.

Avocado (Mexican)Demand exceeds supplies.Mexico’s summer crop is small and limited. Mexican growers continue to hold field prices high as U.S. importers push to get a share of this limited amount of fruit. Demand is exceeding the supplies and the U.S. market is still holding very high pricing. The crop is peaking on 60s and smaller sizes, with mostly #1 fruit and a very small percent of #2s. No relief to this shortage looks to come until we see the Chilean imports. These early arrivals from Chile will be light volume with better volume by mid-September. Mexico’s new main crop is expected to start mid-September if maturity level of the fruit is there to harvest.

Berries (Blueberries)Supplies continue to be limited. Warm weather this weekend may have a bigger effect on availability and quality.

Citrus (Limes)We have an 80% chance of rain for the next 5 days which will continue the stylar, skin breakdown and wind scarring defects the hurricane and it’s winds caused.

Weather: Hot temperatures returning to the entire west coast as a strong high-pressure system moves into the region. This will extend from California to Northern Mexico with temperatures exceeding triple digits throughout the interior region. Coastal Valleys are expected to reach 5 to 10 degrees above normal through the weekend. Monsoonal moisture will increase showers and thunder storms through Central Mexico with seasonal temperatures into next week. Florida will see typically scattered showers and thunder storms with the possibility of increased moisture from the remnants of Hurricane Harvey.

Squash (Eastern)Squash is not in peak supply.

Eggplant (Eastern)Eggplants are in peak availability.

Bell Peppers (Eastern)Green Bell peppers are in peak availability.

Cucumbers (Eastern)Cucumbers are peaking right now but look for that to change soon.

Berries (Blueberries)Import harvest has started. The first large volume arrivals are expected to land in the US over the next 2 weeks.

Potatoes (colored)Western Washington will start over the weekend and into next week with reds, whites, and golds.

PearsWashington will start packing Bosc, D’anjous, and red D’anjous by the end of next week

ApplesWashington will start packing a few new-crop red delicious, Golden delicious, and Granny-smith by the end of next week.

Pennsylvania will start packing in 3 weeks approximately.

Berries (Blackberries)Central Mexico is expected to start by October.

OnionsOnions are back to the Northwest growing areas

Berries (Raspberries)Central Mexico is forecasted to start by the end of September.

Transitions & Temperatures

Peak Seasons

Market Alerts Citrus (Oranges)Demand exceeding supplies on all sizes and grades of fruit.Demand for California Valencia oranges remains very strong and is getting stronger. School demand for the smaller sizes continues to build. School demand paired with the retail juice demand is now exceeding supplies for 88s/113s and 138s which will last through the Valencia season.

Green OnionsSupplies continue to be a problem as the heat takes its toll on growth rates. The market remains active and much higher than normal.

Squash (Eastern)Squash supplies are very tight through the week. Shippers have been prorating orders and will continue to do so for the remainder of the week.

Berries (Blackberries)We are now in peak season in Salinas / Watsonville.
