Mexican asparagus supplies are limited, causing prices to rise. Harvesting transitions within the Mexican growing regions and low temperatures have reduced availability. Limited Peruvian stocks are helping to meet demand.

• Markon First Crop Asparagus is sporadic; packer label is being substituted as needed
• Industry supplies will be limited until harvesting in Caborca, Mexico is at full speed mid- to late January
• Quality is good: spears are deep green and tips are tight
• Expect elevated markets for the next 10 to 14 days
