UPDATE: ASPARAGUS

April 23, 2021

Prices are rising due to strong demand; supplies are tightening.

  • Production has ended in Caborca; harvesting is steadily increasing inCentral Mexico production
  • Peruvian asparagus volume is rising as expected at this time of year; these extra supplies will help stabilize the market but will not be sufficient to hold prices steady
  • Quality is excellent: spears are straight with firm tips and grassy flavor
  • Expect higher prices through early May as demand is increasing for Mother’s Day; markets will stabilize following the holiday and decrease by mid- to late May as production continues to ramp up
