UPDATE: CANTALOUPE AND HONEYDEW MELONS

June 04, 2020

Markon First Crop Cantaloupe and Honeydew Melons are available. Jumbo and large sizes are more plentiful as the domestic season ramps up. Cantaloupe prices are easing; honeydew markets are steady to slightly higher.

  • Domestic 6- and 9-count cantaloupes are available; prices are low as these sizes dominate the crop
    • 12- and 15-count melons are limited; markets are steady
    • 18-count cantaloupes are no longer available
  • Domestic 5- and 6-count honeydew prices are steady to slightly higher; stocks are adequate
    • 8- and 9-count fruit is limited; prices are a bit higher
    • Mexican honeydews are on the market through June; markets are lower than those for domestic fruit
  • Overall quality is very good
