Conventional Items

Lettuce

We’re right in the middle of transition to Northern California production areas with Yuma expected to continue for a handful of shippers through mid April while some growers stop over in Huron before fully transitioning to Salinas mid April as well. Santa Maria has started and the early shippers in Salinas should start next week. Demand has improved although overlapping production can’t sustain current levels leading to intermittent easing of prices. Quality in Yuma remains good but has shown signs of decline while Santa Maria and Huron have mostly been very nice. Warmer temperatures in Northern California have also contributed to the overall increase in industry volume although forecasts call for a return of Cold temperatures next week which could add volatility to the market along with expected labor shortages for the Easter Holiday weekend.

Leaf Lettuce

Romaine and Romaine Hearts  Romaine supplies remain moderate matching demand. Overall mostly exceptional weather in the desert and now in the transitional production areas in the North have allowed for very nice quality with only minor epidermal peel evident . Cooler weather and temporary labor slowdown this weekend could tighten supplies but prices are expected to remain mostly moderate .

Red leaf, Green leaf and Boston  Demand on Leaf has followed Romaine with prices steady. Quality remains nice from most production areas although some epidermal peel remains visible .

Celery

Nothing has changed here, prices are sitting at rock bottom, we are not going to see any change this week. Majority of production is out of Santa Maria and Oxnard. Overall quality is good, nice green color and weights averaging around 55 lbs.

Artichokes

Production of the thornless varieties from most production areas are peaking with most still showing minor frost damage. Temporary warm up but mostly Cooler weather in Northern California coastal areas has allowed quality to remain very nice especially on the Heirloom and Original varieties. Take advantage of these superior edible varieties although at premium pricing but Well worth it.

Broccoli

Pricing will remain steady going into next week. We are expecting to have more volume by the middle of next week out of Santa Maria and Salinas. The Mexico winter season is winding down, there will be limited volume out of there over the next 6 months.

Cauliflower

Market is steady. There is decent demand but currently production is keeping up with demand allowing prices to remain stable. We do not anticipate much change from the current pricing structure for the remainder of this week.

Brussels Sprouts

Heavy production from Mexico continues while demand surged for the Easter Holiday allowing prices to escalate. Quality has been mostly very nice from Mexico with minor insect pressure while limited domestic production continues to be fair quality.

Green Onions

Mexico production has been steady although we expect a slowdown as Labor shortages are expected for the Easter Holiday . Expect some shortages but pricing should remain mostly steady

Strawberries

Many shippers are oversold in the California growing areas due to Easter demand and scarcity of product. Baja California fruit availability may be affected by labor shortages this week due to the holiday. Santa Maria, California is forecast for sunny skies and warm temperatures, becoming partly cloudy for the weekend. Highs are expected in the 70s, decreasing to the 60s for the weekend, and lows in the 40s. Oxnard, California is forecast for sunny skies, becoming partly cloudy and breezy for the weekend, with highs in the 70s, decreasing to the 60s for the weekend, and lows in the 50s, decreasing to the upper 40s Friday through the weekend. Santa Maria, California and Oxnard, California fruit has good color, occasional white shoulders, soft shoulders, pack bruising, seedy tips, water damage and discoloration and scarring from the wind, with some older-crop fruit showing pin rot and decay. Average counts are 18 to 20, occasionally higher and lower.

Raspberries

Demand exceeding supply continues this week as the impacts from the last few months continue on raspberries as well.

Blackberries

Demand exceeding supply continues this week as the impacts from the last few months continue.

Blueberries

Chile is done. Moving into Florida and Central Mexico where we are on to the domestic season! Volumes are still light out of both regions but will increase in the coming weeks. Expect a market-pricing jump as Chile finishes up this week. Great quality out of both Florida and Mexico.

Stone Fruit

Yellow peach and nectarine supplies continue to grow as more vessels arrive daily on both coasts. More sizing options are now available and pricing has stabilized. Peaches are expected to finish towards the middle of April. White peaches and nectarines are still available but in limited supply as the growing season comes to a close. Red and black plums are available and more product is arriving weekly with more sizing options. Good weather in Chilean growing areas and quality is holding up nicely. Domestic stone fruit is expected to start in early May on apricots, peaches and cherries.

Grapes – Markets are holding strong this week on quality red and green grapes. It remains a two tiered market with plenty of deals on lesser quality product. Better volume on red grapes, although there is poor quality product flooding the market, so be sure you know what you are getting. Green grape supplies are tighter, with a two tiered pricing scenario. Overall markets are expected to remain strong and will likely tighten over the next 10 days. Late season fruit will continue arriving through April. The Mexican growing season will start later than normal, likely resulting in production gaps toward the end of April.

Citrus

Oranges – Steady demand continues this week. Stronger pricing overall as supplies on small sizes have been lighter. We expect higher pricing next week. Supplies are still leaning more fancy than choice. quality reports are still very good, with good color and sugar levels. Product is holding up nicely in storage.

Lemons – Steady markets this week. Market had settled early in the week and has since leveled out. California supplies are keeping up with increased demand from both foodservice and retail. We expect better markets in the coming weeks as we switch districts mid month and restaurant demand picks up. Quality has been strong with very few issues to report.

Limes – Lighter supplies this week. Fewer crossings as a result of Holy Week in Mexico. Also, rain is in the forecast for the end of the week in growing areas. Supplies will tighten as a result. Demand has been steady, but will trend upwards in the coming weeks as higher capacity is now allowed in bars and restaurants. Sizing is peaking on small sizes. Some quality issues have been reported including, but not limited to, oil spotting, blanching and scarring.

Cantaloupes

Little change looks to be in the wind for cantaloupes next week. After the long lasting effects of the hurricanes at the beginning of the season production has returned to full capacity and more consistent quality accords the Caribbean basin. Mexico is still a gap between areas.. Domestic production is not expected to start until early May at the earliest. Sizes are running mostly jbo 9s thru 12 count. Demand has picked up with lower prices and better quality, and the seasons changing. COVID impact continues to improve as well. All in all the market seems to be settled into a comfortable supply – demand balance which looks to be continuing into next week.

Honeydews

Like cantaloupes, honeydew production offshore has picked up to normal levels. At the same time, new crop Mexico is starting up for their spring deal. Demand has improved for the same reasons as cantaloupes. Sizes are peaking on 5s ad 6s with ample Jbo 5s off shore but few jbos in Mex. 8s are available in both areas. Quality is good to very good . Next week little looks to change in Offshore supplies, and Mexico should increase making for a moderately lower market.

Organic Items

OG Broccoli & Cauliflower

Cauliflower and Broccoli   Production in the desert is wrapping up and transitioning back to Northern California . Currently there is some overlap but supplies should remain moderate and pricing steady . Cold weather next week could add volatility. Quality in the desert has started to decline with warmer temperatures and added insect pressure while quality has been nice to start the Northern California season .

OG Herbs & Bunch Greens

Availability and pricing appear to be mostly steady with steady demand.Quality remains strong although insect pressure is increasing in most desert areas.

OG Root Vegetables

Carrot Production has been steady and demand continues to be strong. Most growers have been reaching for supplies . Continue to plan ahead even further to get partial coverage.

Potato and Onions  Markets continue to be strong as well as demand for retail packs. Production continues to be limited to shortage for the next month

OG Leaf and Iceberg Lettuce

Leaf, Iceberg & Romaine   Currently prices on Hearts remain a value but we expect improved Demand to allow growers to push prices higher .  Green and Red leaf  supplies remain affordable as well. Epidermal peel remains visible but light. Overall quality has been nice. Increased insect pressure will impact overall availability

OG Citrus

Lemons, Oranges, Limes and Grapefruit Improving demand throughout the entire Citrus category due to strong retail sales and revived foodservice activity. California Winter lemon crop continues steady with slightly lighter volumes and elevated pricing. Lime quality remains inconsistently fair. The Navel crop profile remains perfect for retail demand as we are in Peak production. Domestic Valencia’s will begin limited production over the next couple weeks with continued production from Mexico.  Mandarins continue to offer a terrific value with excellent flavor and sizing profile providing a great item for retail promotions as well as Specialty varieties Cara’s , Satsumas, Minneolas , Tango’s and Bloods.  Grapefruit remains limited to mostly smaller sizes still being impacted from Texas freeze last month.

OG Peppers

California / Mexico :  Lighter supplies of Green Bells has resulted in higher prices with transition to the Coachella Valley delayed due to below seasonal temperatures.  Good supplies of Colored Bells remain although expect the same scenario to play out in coming weeks.

OG Asparagus

Mexico :  Supplies have stabilized as demand surges for The Easter Holiday allowing growers to pull their prices off the floor . Transition has also contributed to substantially higher pricing on limited domestic Grass.

OG Brussels Sprout

Mexico :  Increasing insect pressure in Mexico has slowed production Prices remain stable but supplies limited

Conventional Items

Lettuce

Ideal weather in the desert continues to push production with mostly exceptional quality.  Improving weather around the country is expected to boost demand and likely elevate industry depressed prices. Currently most growers are harvesting partial days to avoid already stressed cooler capacities. If demand continues to be less than stellar the markets will hover at current levels  Quality has been mostly nice although with varying weights , color and solidity leading to some arrival issues with discoloration.

Leaf Lettuce

Romaine and Romaine Hearts- Romaine supplies continue to be strong with mild demand. Warming weather will continue to push production leading to varied quality as most Hearts continue to be heavy and Pale in color with a tendency to show discoloration as growers strip down any residual Epidermal peel . Limited labor will contain oversupply as many growers will be forced to walk past overmature acres. The market will remain depressed through the month awaiting weather patterns to change and promotions spur demand .

Red leaf, Green leaf and Boston  Demand on Leaf has been sluggish as well. . Overall supplies are sufficient at current demand. Quality remains nice from most production areas although some epidermal peel remains visible .

Celery

Nothing too exciting to talk about when it comes to this commodity. The market has not really done anything up or down over the last two weeks and it looks as though nothing is going to change for the remainder of this week. There is availability out of Santa Maria, Oxnard and Yuma. The most aggressive pricing is coming out of Oxnard. Overall quality is good, nice green color and weights averaging around 55 lbs.

Artichokes

Production of the thornless varieties from most production areas have begun to peak with most showing only mild frost damage. Improved weather should push production and will continue to improve quality .  Heirloom and Original varieties will begin to ramp up in March.  Take advantage of these superior edible varieties although at Premium pricing. but Well worth.

Broccoli

With lower price over the last few weeks many shippers in the Mexican growing regions have curtailed their harvest or have found it more profitable to stay in the domestic market than export to the U.S. Couple that with the bad weather and high truck rates that we experienced last week out of Texas and we now have lighter supplies for this week on Mexican product loading in the Texas Valley. Because of this buyers are now looking out West to cover their needs and although the market in California and Arizona has been at the bottom we are starting to see some movement. Look for prices in all loading locations to move a tick or two higher as we finish out the week.

Cauliflower

Starting to see better demand from customers out East. Possibly due to the fact that restaurants, etc are starting to open up. Whatever the case there has been more interest here the last few days and we are definitely going to see prices increase. Quality has been very nice, good white color and nice full head size.

Brussels Sprouts

Increased production from Mexico to go along with continued supplies from California leading to heavy supply and depressed prices . Quality remains varied in Both regions but Mexico has seen improvements Markets are expected to peak with additional Easter demand.

Green Onions

Mexico production has started to show signs of improvement and prices have begun to ease.  Expect a slight surge in demand for Easter but pricing should remain steady.

Strawberries

Florida has flooded the market with cheaper fruit, but the forecast is for very warm temperatures in this region for the weekend. Expect a few quality issues to arise in the near future. California continues to be on the light side, but demand is off slightly. We will see an ease on pricing into the weekend. Central Mexico was hit with some cold temperatures last week and growers had to cull some fruit due to freeze damage.

Raspberries

Demand exceeds supply. Mexico continues to be impacted by the freeze damage in January, followed by cold temps this past week. Supplies are expected to remain low until new districts come on in March. Another freeze happened over the weekend so the issues with raspberries will continue well into March.

Blackberries

Demand exceeds supply. The freeze in Mexico a few weeks ago is driving up the market on blackberries as less production is coming on. New districts will start producing mid-March.

Blueberries

Supply exceeds demand. Late vessels are lining up with on-time vessels to the U.S., so we are seeing a late- season glut of imported blueberries hit both coasts. Along with Central Mexico starting to pick up production as well, the blueberry market has done an about-face for at least another two weeks, and then supplies will drop off very quickly.

Stone Fruit

Chilean Stone fruit is arriving weekly. White peaches, white nectarine, red & black plums, yellow peaches, & yellow nectarines have been unloaded and are now available from multiple shippers. Mostly tray pack fruit is available. Multiple vessels are scheduled to arrive over the coming weekend and we will likely see more volume fill stone fruit, and a better array of sizing hit the open market.

Grapes

The grape market has firmed up significantly over the past two weeks. Supplies are limited industry wide, and will continue to be light for the near future. Vessel delays and poor weather have both contributed to the current demand exceeds supply scenario. Much of the product arriving is being stored to keep up with high demand that is expected in March. The market is now in the 30’s and advancing. Green seedless varieties were especially hit hard by the heavy rains in South America, and supplies will be virtually nonexistent for the remainder of February and well into March. This situation will definitely put more pressure on red grapes, resulting in even higher markets from this point on .

Citrus

Oranges – Steady demand this week on navels. Markets are softer this week as more product enters the pipeline. Sizing is peaking on 72 and 88 count fruit. Small sizes are in less supply, with a 1-2 dollar spread between large and small sizes. Light supplies of small sized navels are expected for the coming weeks. Quality has been very nice with good color and high brix. Fancy grade is currently about 80% of pack outs from district 1.

Lemons – Softer markets this week as more supplies are available this week. Good supplies are coming out of district 1, keeping up with demand at this point. Lighter volume expected in early March, which will likely result in stronger markets as more restaurants attempt to reopen. Deals are being made on small sized fruit. Quality has been very nice with very few problems to report.

Limes – Good demand continues this week on limes and sizing is peaking on 175 and 200 count fruit. More rain is in the forecast for growing areas over the coming week, which will likely keep supplies tight and we could also see some quality issues as a result.

Cantaloupes

Waiting is the watchword for cantaloupes right now. Waiting for more volume of larger sizes and more consistent quality from Honduras and Guatemala. But the long-lasting legacy of the hurricane that struck the Caribbean at the very beginning of the deal and left disease and devastated soil behind continues to limit both. Yet demand, like with all produce right now, seems to be nearly comatose, especially as large swaths of the country recovers from the devastating recent winter storms. Thus jbo and regular 9s count is mostly absorbed by contracts, with 12s and 15s continuing needing to be discounted to sell. Little looks to change next week. There might be some increase in supplies as we get further from the storm and head into newer plantings, but is starting to look as if there will be less than normal supplies continuing for a while. Domestic fruit is still about 6-10 weeks off. Demand also is looking as if it will stay lackluster at best as winter and COVID continue. West coast POE’s are selling for less than FLA POEs which will keep the distribution of arrivals focused there. All and all we look for little change next week with discounting on smaller sizes on slower days

Honeydews

Honeydews have changed. Mexico supplies have seasonally diminished and being kept mostly in country rather that exporting into U.S. At the same time, offshore supplies have diminished a bit as well and there is still a lot of fair quality being heavily discounted. Sizes are peaking on 5 and 6s and some jbo 5s with few 8s. Prices have gone up on the best fruit. We look for steady to slightly higher prices next week.

Organic Items

OG Broccoli & Cauliflower

Cauliflower and Broccoli   Mostly ideal weather conditions in the desert has pushed production forward as we approach the transition back to Northern California production areas over the next month.  . Demand has been moderate and prices steady. We expect pricing to escalate as we see improving demand although additional supplies from Northern California will lead to tiered pricing.

OG Herbs & Bunch Greens

Availability and pricing appear to be mostly steady with improving demand with Cold weather hampering Southeast production areas

OG Root Vegetables

Carrot Production has been steady and demand continues to spike. Most growers have been reaching for supplies . Continue to plan ahead even further to get partial coverage.

Potato and Onions  Markets continue to be strong as well as demand for retail packs. Production continues to be limited to shortage.

OG Leaf and Iceberg Lettuce

Leaf, Iceberg & Romaine   Supplies are starting to catch up with Demand for romaine and prices are easing lower.  Romaine Hearts are offering a Seasonal best value.  Green and Redleaf  supplies remain affordable as well . Epidermal peel remains visible but decreasing. daily and overall quality has been nice.  A return to ideal weather should help push supplies and improve quality .

OG Citrus

Lemons, Oranges, Limes and Grapefruit  Demand continues to be strong throughout the entire Citrus category due to strong retail sales. California Winter lemon crop continues steady with slightly elevated pricing. Many shippers have shifted production exclusively to bags on All Citrus. Lime quality remains inconsistently fair. The Navel crop profile remains perfect for retail demand as we are in Peak production. Mandarins continue to offer a terrific value with excellent flavor and sizing profile providing a great item for retail promotions as well as Specialty varieties Cara’s , Satsumas, Minneolas , Tango’s and Bloods.

OG Peppers

California / Mexico :  Improved supplies of all Colored Bells as the weather has improved .in the West

OG Asparagus

Mexico :  Surging supplies on the Mexican crop is leading to good values on Asparagus . Take advantage while supplies last.

OG Brussels Sprout

Mexico :  New Crop from Mexico has started with good  Supplies and quality to match. Expect availability through early Spring. before insect pressure increases.

Conventional Items

Lettuce

Steady production is being interrupted by the first Rain storm of the season. Although demand remains moderate, a slow down in production will allow growers to clean up inventory and firm pricing. Additional rain is expected early next week along with much cooler, Winter-like temperatures , than the Chamber of Commerce weather most of California and Arizona has experienced the past week. With the change in weather expect lighter volume and rising prices for the balance of the month on most Veg items. Quality continues to be mostly nice with discolored epidermal peel and fringe burn more prevalent.

Leaf Lettuce

Romaine and Romaine Hearts  Romaine supplies continue to be strong with moderate demand for cartons but robust for Hearts. Developing systems will cool the desert region to much more seasonal weather with overnight temperatures falling back to near freezing next week. Expect production to slow and prices to firm.  Epidermal blister and peel has begun to be more prevalent with a widening range in quality.

Red leaf, Green leaf and Boston  Demand  on Greenleaf and Boston have been moderate  while Red leaf, due to decreased acres, has been strong. . Shippers’ will continue with limited supplies of Red leaf which will keep prices elevated. Additionally wet and colder weather will impact supplies and expect pricing to escalate.  Quality remains nice from most production areas although some epidermal peel has been visible .

Celery

The market is in a declining stage. Prices are coming off daily $1.00 – $2.00. It looks like we will remain in this pattern for the rest of this week. Obviously buy with protection! Quality is nice, good green color and weights are averaging around 55 lbs for most packs. Deals can be found on size 30 and 36’s.

Artichokes

Production of the thornless varieties from most production areas continue to sustain mild to moderate frost damage. Recent warmer weather will once again give way to frost conditions keeping supplies limited, especially  “clean ” artichokes.  Heirloom and Original varieties will return in the Spring.

Broccoli

Demand remains steady on all packs but especially on crowns. The market has settled at current trading levels and will remain unchanged for this week. There is availability out of Santa Maria, the Yuma regions as well as Texas with products from Mexico. There is also some light production coming out of Florida. Our Shui Ling production was limited this week but we should get back to normal production next week.

Cauliflower

Prices will continue at current levels for the remainder of this week. Some shippers have moved their prices up slightly in reaction to rain in the Desert growing regions. We do not expect any major increases as overall business is slow. Santa Maria is currently offering out the cheapest deals and quality in this region has been nice.

Brussels Sprouts

Coastal California supplies continue to be strong with a mix of quality and sizing. Pricing remains elevated in the desert due to mostly transferred product from Northern California production areas. Mexico has begun limited production with expected better overall quality in coming weeks

Green Onions

Mexico production continues to be limited due to seasonal labor shortage. Additional Cooler , Wet weather will keep supplies in check before we see any significant increase in production. We still anticipate a return to normal supplies once the weather improves.

Strawberries

Volume has leveled off this week but forecasted rains will tighten up the market next week out of California. There is a better than 50% chance of rain in the forecast Sunday Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Temperatures in central Mexico remain cold and numbers remain about 85% of normal. The Baja fruit has been good with excellent size. If we move into some more favorable weather conditions, expect better volumes out of Mexico. Florida continues to produce low numbers as well due to cold temperatures. Quality has been decent with god berry size out of Florida.

Raspberries

Expect raspberries to be extremely tight over the next few weeks as the crop is finally reacting to the same cold weather affecting the strawberries out of Baja and Central Mexico. Expect this market to remain strong with limited availability in the coming weeks.

Blackberries

Similar to the raspberries this item is showing the effects of colder weather and will be in lighter supplies through the next few weeks. Look for the market to firm up with varying quantities of fruit available.

Blueberries

Exports from Chile are in full production but the delay in off loading of ships on the West Coast continues.however off loading of containers, some reports are in excess of 10 days on average. Mexico is still crossing lower numbers of superior fruit but transfer delays to the West Coast are still causing loading delays and shortages.

Stone Fruit

More offshore product is being unloaded and is hitting the open market. Volume fill and tray pack white peaches and white nectarines are currently available. Black plums and mottled pluots are also now available in limited sizing and volumes. Yellow peaches and nectarines are available in mostly tray packs in mostly 56 count and larger sizing. We expect availability to improve as we head toward the end of the month.

Grapes

Imported supplies are improving this week. Product is now arriving daily on both coasts from Chile and Peru. East coast ports are receiving better numbers as the west coast continues to struggle with port delays. Supplies should slowly build and more product will go into storage. Quality has been very nice on imported fruit. Red varieties include Flames, Crimson and Allison. Green varieties consist of Thompson, Sugarones and sweet globe. Steady pricing into next week and markets should begin to settle as more product continues to arrive on both coasts.

Citrus

Oranges – Strong demand this week on navels. Pricing is going up, particularly on 113 and smaller sizes. Small sizes will continue to be limited in the coming weeks. Better volumes on 88 and larger sizes. Quality has been very nice, with most of the product arriving as fancy. Choice fruit is lighter in volume, and some fancy fruit is being packed into choice boxes. We expect this market to further strengthen, especially on small fruit.

Lemons – Markets are strengthening and supplies are lighter this week. Mexico has mostly finished and the focus is now on California product. Most of the product is coming out of district 1, as district 3 will be finishing within the next 3 weeks. Quality has been good overall. We expect this market to continue strengthening as domestic supplies tighten up.

Limes – Good weather in growing regions is helping inventories. Sizes are peaking on 175 and 200 count sizes. Demand is slowly improving as some restaurants have re-opened in limited capacities. Quality has been ok overall , although there have been some reports of lighter color and soft skin. We expect better supplies on large sizes. Steady markets likely into next week.

Cantaloupes

Little has changed the narrative for cantaloupes. Arrivals remain extremely light as the legacy of the hurricanes that struck the Central American growing regions continue to afflict production and quality. Most arrivals are to Florida POEs as it is closest to point of shipment and shorter shipping times mitigate product breakdown. This leaves the West Coast POE extremely short on supplies and in a demand exceeds supply position. This is looking as if it will confuse for another week or two at least. Prices are expected to be elevated and supplies short until sometime in February.

Honeydews

The honeydew story, unlike cantaloupes is changing a bit. Offshore supplies and quality continues to be struggling, once again as a legacy to the devastating hurricanes that afflicted Central America at the very start of the season. Mexico had been a viable and vibrant supply source early but supplies there diminished a bit during the last couple of week due to a cold snap. Offshore supplies are still light and of spotty quality. New Mexican districts are kicking in. Supplies are about to increase there again with better quality. We look for a moderately lower market next week.

Dry Onions

Farms to Families will certainly help with demand and it’s too bad that the Jumbo onions are being left behind. Almost all of these boxes are requesting 16/3lb onions using a medium or a small jumbo. Anything helps, but we need the restaurants and foodservice to return.

Asparagus

Here comes Caborca! There is more and more production coming our way and will soon be priced for Ad features. There will be enough product to be able to cover demand by next week and prices will drop daily…stay tuned. 28/1’s are on the way.

Organic Items

OG Broccoli & Cauliflower

Cauliflower and Broccoli   Mostly ideal weather conditions pushed production forward in the desert. A return to cooler more seasonal Winter weather will likely impact production and prices will once again be on the move. Take advantage while deals last . Quality remains at Seasonal peak .

OG Herbs & Bunch Greens

Availability and pricing appear to be mostly steady with improving demand

OG Root Vegetables

Carrot Production has been steady and demand continues to spike led by the Farm to Family Program. Most growers have been reaching for supplies . Continue to plan ahead even further to get partial coverage.

Potato and Onions  Markets continue to be strong as well as demand for retail packs. Production continues to be limited to shortage.

OG Leaf and Iceberg Lettuce

Leaf, Iceberg & Romaine   Demand for romaine continues to keep prices elevated while  Green and Red leaf  supplies remain slightly better, offering a decent value. Epidermal peel has been more prevalent but overall quality has been nice.  Cooler, rainy weather will limit supplies and push pricing higher.

OG Citrus

Lemons, Oranges, Limes and Grapefruit Demand continues to be strong throughout the Citrus category due to retail sales. California Winter lemon crop continues steady with slightly elevated pricing. Many shippers have shifted production exclusively to bags on All Citrus. Lime quality remains inconsistently fair. The Navel crop profile remains perfect for retail demand as we are in Peak production.  Mandarins continue to offer a terrific value with excellent flavor and sizing profile providing a great item for retail promotions. Specialty varieties have begun with Cara’s , Satsumas, Minneolas and later this month Tango’s and Bloods

OG Peppers

California / Mexico :  Continued limited supplies of Colored Bells but good supplies of Green Bells although a return to cooler weather pattern will likely limit production.

Conventional Items

Lettuce

A cold New Years Weekend in the desert led to light harvest and limited inventory entering the first week of the New Year . Additionally, labor has been slow to return after the Holidays. These factors helped push prices higher as demand peaked to start the week. Weather as always this time of year will dictate market direction going forward and forecast call for Chamber of Commerce days ahead. Quality continues to be mostly very nice although increased epidermal peeling will be visible following the cold overnight temperatures this past weekend. We anticipate the market to ease to more sustainable levels as we get closer to the weekend.

Leaf Lettuce

Romaine and Romaine Hearts  Romaine supplies continue to be strong while demand has improved after the Holidays pushing prices slightly higher. Freezing Temperatures last weekend will increase Epidermal blister, peel and eventually discoloration in coming weeks but currently quality is mostly outstanding . Retail demand continues to be strong for Hearts keeping prices elevated while carton Romaine is expected to level off. Forecast call for ideal temperatures in the Desert moving forward which will help production as long as labor returns to near normal following the Holidays.

Red leaf, Green leaf and Boston  prices escalated coming out of the Holiday weekend but should steady at sustainable levels with expected ideal weather forecasted . Shippers’ will continue with limited supplies of red leaf which will keep prices elevated. Quality remains very nice from most production areas.

Celery

It feels like prices may have reached their peak currently sitting in the mid $30.00’s. Light production is forecasted for the next two weeks so prices will most likely stay at current levels into next week. Quality has been good, dark green color and good weights. There is very little to no insect or disease pressure being found. Shipping points are Santa Maria, Oxnard and down in the Yuma region.

Artichokes

Production of the thornless varieties from most production areas continue to sustain mild to moderate frost damage as overnight temperatures hovered near freezing. . Availability of  “clean ” artichokes will be extremely limited until we transition to new production areas later this month. Heirloom and Original varieties will return in the spring.

Broccoli

In conversations with other shippers it sounds like the market will sit at current levels going into next week. Harvest estimates are to remain on the lighter side but overall demand is just ok. Cooler night time temperatures are forecasted for the central regions of Mexico next week which will slow production, limiting volume being sent to Texas. Our Shui Ling production will be somewhat limited over the next 7 days so if you know what your needs may be for next week please give us ample time to get your order taken care of.

Cauliflower

Prices are on the decline and there is a spread of almost $10.00 between different shippers and growing regions. Santa Maria is currently offering out the cheapest deals but the Desert regions are coming down daily as well. Make sure that if you are purchasing that you are getting price protection as well. In conversations I have been told that supplies could get lighter by the end of next week. Something to keep an eye on.

Brussels Sprouts

Coastal California supplies continue to be strong with a mix of quality and sizing. Pricing remains elevated in the desert due to mostly transferred product from Northern California production areas. Mexico has begun limited production with expected better overall quality in coming weeks

Green Onions

Mexico production has been limited due to cool weather and seasonal labor shortage pushing prices higher.  We haven’t had the sustained prolonged freeze normal for this time of year so we anticipate a quicker return to normal supplies than previous years but labor will be slow to fully return keeping supplies tight and Prices elevated most of the month.

Strawberries

We should see a gradual increase in overall supply as we move closer to the end of January. The numbers will be a little off in Oxnard due to cooler weather. The forecast for Florida has also slightly lighter numbers due to colder weather and some fruit damage caused by recent rains. The loss in volume in these two areas should be offset by an increase in volume expected out of Mexico. Yields, quality and sizing has been excellent out of Mexico.

Raspberries

Cold temperatures have kept expected volume lower than forecasted. We are expected increased numbers the week of 18th

Blackberries

We are expecting increased supplies next week as long as weather patterns remain consistent.

Blueberries

The Mexican season will be experiencing better numbers week over week into February. Fruit out of the Baja region will remain consistent and begin to increase volume the last week of January. The Peruvian production is past peak and will continue with decreasing volumes through January.

Stone Fruit

First arrivals of offshore peaches landed over the weekend and have since been sold. With the continued back log of vessels in Southern California, the next containers will not be available until the week of 1/21. The next arrival will have volume fill and tray pack yellow and white peaches. More information to come as we get updated on future arrivals. Nectarines and plums will likely not be available until early February.

Grapes

Storage supplies are quickly drying up and there are limited amounts of green grapes available on the open market. Red seedless are in better supplies, though quality is beginning to show signs of soft fruit. Green storage fruit is expected to be finished by the middle of next week. Import supplies are slowly building on both coasts and markets have remained similar to previous weeks. West coast arrivals will likely increase over the next two weeks and markets should remain steady for now.

Citrus

Oranges – Great quality on California navels this season. Cool temperatures have resulted in improved color and brix. Sizing is increasing and we are now seeing more 72 and 88 sized fruit on the market. Lighter supplies this week on small sizes, and we could see stronger markets on 138 and smaller sizes by as early as next week.

Lemons – District 3 crop will be finishing in the next couple of weeks. District 1 lemons are in full production. Good supplies on large size fancy and choice lemons. Better demand this week than in weeks past, hopefully a trend that will continue for the coming weeks as district 3 finishes. Quality is very nice with no issues to report.

Limes – Better demand this week on limes. Sizes are peaking on 200 size and smaller fruit. Plenty of volume crossing this week and shippers will be able to keep up with demand. Overall quality is good, although there have been some reports of blanching. Run offers by us on limes.

Dry Onions

Jumbo Yellow Onions are in the doldrums. A lot of shippers have very long faces right now and need to keep selling…there will be blood this year and there’s not much that can be done. I hope these shippers are applying for PPP through the small business admin. Herd immunity is coming and with it food service and schools and hotels and conventions and parties!!!! Keep your collective heads up…help is on the way.

Asparagus

Mexico (Caborca) has burned its fern two weeks ago and are getting very low yield due to cold temps. I’ve been told by a very competent source that the low temps and the high daily temp have to ad up to 120 for the Asparagus to start to grow. Right now, and into next week here will only be a total of 110. Grass is going to be hard to come by for a few weeks. Avoid all ads until this starts to clear up.

Organic Items

OG Broccoli & Cauliflower

Cauliflower and Broccoli   Cooler weather should be giving way to ideal weather conditions in the desert which should push production once again. Prices are expected to return to sustainable levels with quality at Seasonal peak .

OG Herbs & Bunch Greens

Availability and pricing appear to be mostly steady with improving demand

OG Root Vegetables

Carrot Production has been steady and demand continues to spike led by the Farm to Family Program. Most growers have been reaching for supplies . Continue to plan ahead even further to get partial coverage.

Potato and Onions  Markets continue to be strong as well as demand for retail packs. Production continues to be limited to shortage.

OG Leaf and Iceberg Lettuce

Leaf, Iceberg & Romaine   Demand for romaine continues to keep prices elevated while  Green and Red Leaf  supplies remain slightly better, offering a decent value. Slightly increased epidermal peel will be evident in coming weeks although much less than in previous years .

OG Citrus

Lemons, Oranges, Limes and Grapefruit Demand continues to be strong throughout the Citrus category due to retail sales. California Winter lemon crop remains strong with slightly elevated pricing. Many shippers have shifted production exclusively to bags on All Citrus. Lime quality remains inconsistent. The Navel crop profile remains perfect for retail demand.  Mandarins continue to offer a terrific value with excellent flavor and sizing profile providing a great item for retail promotions. Specialty varieties have begun with Cara’s , Satsumas, Minneolas and later this month Bloods

OG Peppers

California / Mexico :  Good Supplies of Green Bells with continued limited supplies of Colored Bells although improved weather should help improve supplies in coming weeks.

Conventional Items

Lettuce

The market continues steady with CV-19 restrictions and shutdowns and escalating freight rates restraining demand while widespread frost and cooling soil temperatures slow growth. Quality continues to be mostly very nice although temperatures , closer to freezing , will likely impact quality in coming weeks. Prices are expected to firm if the freezing temperatures persist.

Leaf Lettuce

Romaine and Romaine Hearts  Romaine supplies continue to be strong while demand remains mild.  Cooler conditions with more widespread frost is forecast for the balance of the week and will likely impact quality and supplies. Romaine Heart demand is much better than carton Romaine with slightly elevated pricing. Mild epidermal peel is evident in most areas with overall quality still good although near freezing temperatures will likely increase the blister , peel and discoloration and could tighten supplies by delaying harvest hours.

Red leaf, Green leaf and Boston  prices remain steady at sustainable levels although most shippers’ have limited supplies of Red leaf which has kept prices firmer.  Quality remains very nice from most production areas.

Celery

Prices have escalated this week due to cooler temperatures. Product is just not sizing up as it should especially with the cooler nighttime temperatures that we have experienced. Most shippers in the Oxnard and Santa Maria districts where the largest acreage sits have the ability to harvest 36 sizes only or wait for the product to size up. Most are now going to wait for more sizing. Expect prices to continue to climb as we go into next week.

Artichokes

Production of the thornless varieties from most production areas continue to sustain mild to moderate frost damage as overnight temperatures hover near freezing. . Availability of  “clean ” artichokes will be extremely limited until we transition to new production areas later next month. Heirloom and Original varieties will return in the Spring.

Broccoli

Limited availability out of California and the Desert growing regions for the remainder of the week. Cooler temperatures are forecasted for these areas going into the weekend and this will keep prices at current levels and possibly a tick higher come Monday. There is good availability out of Texas on Mexican crowns due to a significant jump in freight rates this week. Buyers will wait it out until next week to load hoping rates will drop. We should see active buying out of Texas next week, taking advantage of the lower prices. Thank you for the business on our Shui Ling Crowns out of Mexico shipping out of Pharr,TX. We will have consistent supplies available next week. Quality has been excellent with 4″-5″ domes and true short cut with less than 5% hollow core.

Cauliflower

Business has been brisk this week on flower. We feel the market has topped out though and we should start to see a decrease in prices beginning next week if not earlier. Quality has been very nice, sizing has been on the smaller size due to the cooler growing temperatures. Good availability is expected for next week.

Brussels Sprouts

Coastal California supplies continue to be strong with a mix of quality and sizing. Pricing remains elevated in the desert due to mostly transferred product from Northern California production areas. Mexico has begun limited production with expected better overall quality by early next month.

Green Onions

Mexico production has started its seasonal shortage with cooler weather and reduction in Mexico’s labor force combining to limit supplies. Pricing has firmed and will continue to escalate for the next few weeks.

Strawberries

Volumes should increase gradually as we move into the month of January. As always, availability will be subject to weather.  Florida volume is declining due to recent rains. The forecast for the next few days is a chance of rain, combined with very cool temperatures. Central Mexico is also receiving volume short of expectations due to slower fruit ripening. There is a chance of showers in the forecast for California all next week.

Stone Fruit

Delays continue at the ports of entry which have prevented much of the early offshore stone fruit from hitting land. We are expecting some peaches and nectarines to start arriving later next week but in very limited supply. Utility plums are finished for the season. Offshore plums are not expected to arrive for another 3 weeks.

Grapes

Red grape varieties remain plentiful , with a good amount of storage fruit expected to last well into January. Green grape supplies are dwindling quickly and storage greens will likely clean up by the end of next week. Quality is holding up on the red varieties, although greens are showing more issues as the product is held longer in storage. Imported fruit is arriving on both coasts in light numbers and pricing is elevated. More offshore arrivals are expected to arrive over the next couple of weeks, which will overlap storage supplies, exceeding demand.

Citrus

Oranges – Good supplies of fancy oranges this week. Better color has been reported and quality is excellent overall. Demand is still sluggish, and deals are being made by shippers wanting to clean up inventories. Good volumes, especially on 88 and 113 count fruit. Run offers by us on all sizes.

Lemons – Mexico production is mostly finished, with the exception of a few large sizes available on the market. Good supplies this week on California lemons. Quality is very nice, and shippers are looking to move product. Restaurant closures have severely impacted the lemon market, and we expect this to continue well into the new year.

Limes – Good supplies continue this week on limes, especially on 175 and 200 count sizes. Shippers are looking to move on all sizes and listening to reasonable offers. Quality has been holding up nicely and color is deep and uniform. Like lemons, the lime market is lackluster due to bar and restaurant closures.

Dry Onions

Time marches on and the Onion shippers are keeping up with demand. The latest shutdowns of restaurants in CA and other parts of the country have been taking the small glimmer of business away and replacing it with more handouts. The slow startup of vaccinations hasn’t helped, but it’s at least

getting to the brave medical population and some of the elderly in nursing homes. Let’s hope the speed up of vaccinations will open things up and stem the recent tide of new case. Wear you Mask. How many of us have gotten halfway across a parking lot, to only turn around and return to your car because you forgot to put your mask on…there should be a name for the function…

Asparagus

Volumes of asparagus out of Peru will slow to a trickle for the next two weeks as strike unfolds in the growing and shipping areas. There will be a very large gap in supplies unless they can settle this strike. Mexico (Caborca) has burned its fern two weeks ago and are getting very low yield due to cold temps.

I’ve been told by a very competent source that the low temps and the high daily temp have to ad up to 120 for the Asparagus to start to grow. Right now, and into next week here will only be a total of 110. Grass supplies are going to be limited for a few weeks. Avoid all ads until this starts to clear up.

Cantaloupes

As we enter the new year. there appears to be little change ahead for the tight cantaloupe market. Lingering damage from the Hurricanes that hit Guatemala and Honduras as well as the heavy rains that hit other production areas has devastated supplies, causing replanting, which will not be ready until very late in February or early March. There is a small increase in volume expected to arrive next week, but how much of that volume will be usable remains an open question. Also existing contracts will make spot market supplies even scarcer. Once again it looks like high price, very limited availability and poor quality will be the theme again to start 2021.

Honeydews

Honeydews are available but in worse shape than cantaloupes. Offshore product is quite sparse and quality is mostly unusable for retail. Mexico still has fruit and quality while variable is better than offshore and much lower priced, which makes them a better procurement option. Demand has been very slow. Prices have been steady. Not much should change next week.

Organic Items

OG Leaf and Iceberg Lettuce

Leaf, Iceberg & Romaine   Demand for romaine continues to keep prices elevated and cooler temperatures will keep supplies limited through the New Year.

The Navel crop profile remains perfect for retail demand. Some much needed Rain could delay harvest but will eventually improve sizing and quality . Mandarins continue to offer a terrific value with excellent flavor and sizing profile providing a great item for retail promotions. Specialty varieties should be starting up early next month with Cara’s , Minneolas and later next month Bloods

OG Peppers

California / Mexico  Good Supplies of Green Bells with continued limited supplies of Colored Bells expected through early next month. . The market reflects the disparity in production.

Conventional Items

Lettuce

The market continues steady as modest demand is winning out over moderate supply.  CV-19 restrictions and shutdowns along with Holiday week loading has restrained demand while cool overall temperatures with isolated frost have kept supplies in check. Even with the mild frost , Quality has been mostly very nice. There is some epidermal peel evident but not wide spread or severe. Prices will likely remain near current levels until cold temperatures impact harvest or Demand improves .

Leaf Lettuce

Romaine and Romaine Hearts  Romaine supplies continue to surge while demand remains mild.  Near ideal weather conditions with only mild isolated frost continues to push quality and supply forward. Only mild epidermal peel is evident in most areas with overall quality the best of the season. Cold weather could impact supplies as most growers are nearly 2 weeks ahead of schedule although forecast call for continued mild temperatures.

Red leaf, Green leaf and Boston  prices have eased to more sustainable levels with most shippers negotiable although limited supplies of Red leaf have kept prices firm.  Quality remains very nice from most production areas.

Celery

Demand remains good even with the Christmas holiday pull behind us. Prices will remain at current trading levels going into next week. Your better pricing options are coming out of the Oxnard and Santa Maria growing regions. Quality is good with nice green color and heavy weights out of all areas.

Artichokes

Production of the thornless varieties from most production areas continue to sustain mild to moderate frost damage as overnight temperatures hover near freezing. . Availability of  “clean ” artichokes will be extremely limited until we transition to new production areas later next month. Heirloom and Original varieties will return in the Spring.

Broccoli

It looks like prices will settle at current trading levels for next week. Limited labor and cooler temperatures will keep harvest production in check. Thank you for the business on our Shui Ling Crowns out of Mexico shipping out of Pharr,TX. We will have consistent supplies available next week. Quality has been excellent with 4″-5″ domes and true short cut with less than 5% hollow core.

Cauliflower

There is a wide range of pricing out there right now. Santa Maria has been your best option for pricing and then things escalate as you get into the Desert growing regions. It does not look like we will see any further decrease in price as we head into next week and we could even see a slight uptick in prices. Stay in touch with your Produce West sales representative for the latest information.

Brussels Sprouts

Coastal California supplies continue to be strong with a mix of quality and sizing. Pricing remains elevated in the desert due to mostly transferred product from Northern California production areas for strong Christmas demand . Mexico has begun limited production with expected better overall quality by early next month.

Green Onions

Mexico production continues steady with favorable weather conditions although supplies are expected to decrease rapidly over the next several weeks as Mexico’s labor force will be significantly reduced during the Holidays. Pricing is expected to escalate quickly.

Strawberries

Volume is expected to remain relatively stable the next few weeks. Central Mexico and Florida will increase forward. We expect Oxnard production to decrease each week until the start of Spring production. Central Mexico has seen good size with low to average counts. Baja has seen good size as well and good flavor as their volume continues increasing. Florida has seen mostly appearance related defects as their volume increases. Oxnard has seen some impacts from recent Santa Ana winds as they continue to down trend in production.

Raspberries

Volume continues to downtrend steadily as expected, and the outlook is to continue on this path through the New Year with early January being our lowest production point. Volume should steadily increase as of late January as Central Mexico and Oxnard pick up. Unexpected cold fronts could lead to gaps or create delays. Central Mexico has reported good counts and brix. Oxnard reported good overall quality with good flavor and medium sized fruit.

Blackberries

Supply will remain steady for the next couple of weeks. We are transitioning from the early varieties into the mid-season varieties out of Mexico. We expect supply to hover around the same levels for the next couple of weeks. We expect the California supply to downtrend in January when the plants get ready for the next cycle. Oxnard has seen minimal defects at the dock with good firm fruit overall. The Northern District has reported good, consistent quality. Central Mexico has seen good quality and good size with low basket counts.

Stone Fruit

Delays at the port have prevented much of the early offshore stone fruit from hitting land. We are expecting some peaches and nectarines to start trickling in next week but in very limited supply and high pricing. Some utility plums are currently available, although supplies are limited. Offshore plums are not expected to arrive for another 3 weeks.

Grapes

Shippers are still working through their storage grapes this week . Red varieties are plentiful , with a good amount of storage fruit expected to last well into January. Green grape supplies are dwindling quickly and storage greens will likely clean up by the end of next week. Quality is holding up ok on the red varieties, although greens are showing more issues the longer they are stored. Imported fruit is arriving on both coasts in light numbers and pricing is elevated. More offshore arrivals are expected to arrive over the next two weeks, which will overlap storage supplies, exceeding demand.

Citrus

Oranges – Plenty of navels available this week. Better color has been reported and quality is excellent. Demand has been lackluster and deals are being made by shippers wanting to clean up inventories. Good volumes, especially on 88 and 113 count fruit. Run offers by us on all sizes.

Lemons – Good production continues this week on California lemons. Supplies will continue increasing as we head toward the new year. Mexico production is mostly finished, with the exception of a few large sizes. Quality is very nice, and shippers are looking to move product. Restaurant closures have severely impacted the lemon market, and we expect this to continue well into the new year.

Limes – Good supplies continue this week on limes, especially on 175 and 200 count sizes. Shippers are looking to move on all sizes and listening to reasonable offers. Quality has been holding up nicely and color is deep and uniform. Like lemons, the lime market is lackluster due to bar and restaurant closures.

Dry Onions

Deals are being made on Jumbo’s with multi-order transactions. Now the second wave of mandatory shutdowns for restaurants has made even the out-door dining non- existent. As the vaccine is distributed, we will see the spikes become less prevalent and openings start to increase. So much for the V recovery…the only V recovery was the stock market. This country is still in trouble, with looming evictions and people going out of business.

Asparagus

Product is gapping heavily in Mexico as a result of cold weather and transitioning growing regions. Volumes of asparagus continue to enter in high volumes out of Peru. All signs are pointing to strong volume to continue through the Christmas holiday and that asparagus will be promoted heavily

throughout the next few weeks. It is also important to note that as we enter January, markets begin to get more difficult due to it being a supply-gap month.

Cantaloupes

Cantaloupes, especially usable ones, are in critically short supply and look to remain so well into January if not longer. The devastating hurricanes that afflicted Central America last month has left a severe legacy of short supplies and poor quality of those scant supplies. Thus the sparse amount of fruit that is arriving is poor and is almost all being rejected throughout the supply chain. At the same time, being in the tropics greatly slows the drying out of the ground and has stymied plantings for product that would be harvested in February, leaving little hope of seeing an adequate usable supply until March at the earliest, if then. We see cantaloupes being close to entirely unavailable until Spring

Honeydews

Honeydews are equally as devastated from Central America and appear to be following the same devastatingly short supply and poor quality future as cantaloupes. The difference is that Mexico is producing some useable fruit at reasonable price levels and is there as an alleviating factor. Normally buyers switch to Offshore fruit by now but it appears supplies will be depending on Mexico into the Spring. Quality is mixed but there is ample useable product crossing in Nogales. However prices are rising moderately. We look or a firm to higher market on honeydew.
