| Unfortunately, no changes in the avocado market – supply continues to be tight and prices remain high. There are not any signs of this changing any time soon. Reminder: the gap in the growing season for fingerling potatoes continues till at least late summer. Potatoes are typically harvested during the late summer/early fall. This harvest is intended to supply the remainder of the year – there is not a second round of harvest. The 2021 harvest has been depleted which has resulted in the gap in availability. Romaine Hearts continue to be elevated as harvest numbers are very light. Supply will likely become increasingly tighter. The same for Iceberg lettuce. We are in a tough spot with colored peppers. California has halted to harvest due to weather. There will be a 1-2 week gap before the new growing region takes off. Green peppers are looking steady. Italian Parsley harvest numbers are steadily improving – hopefully the cost will improving soon too! Strawberries are looking great – expectational taste and color at great prices. |

| The avocado market has been in disarray for some time now, but due to recent events we are anticipating it to worsen this week. An avocado processing plant was temporarily shut down leading to less availability and a significant price increase. As things are warming up, the growing regions for several items are in transition. Melons continue to mature in their new region which will increase the harvest numbers – and the taste will continue to improve! Grapes have settled into their new region – prices and flavors are great. Yellow squash and zucchini are moving north. Yellow squash harvest numbers are down and prices are up. The zucchini market remains steady. Grapefruit are limited to a couple varieties this time of year. You may notice they are not the vibrant, deep pink that we all love but, don’t worry, the flavor is still fantastic! |
