UPDATE: MELONS
September 16, 2020
California cantaloupe and honeydew production is winding down in the San Joaquin Valley. Prices are rising.
- Markon First Crop Cantaloupe and Honeydew are on the market
- Expect sporadic size availability for the next 14 days as heavy smoke is reducing sunlight and delaying plant maturity/uniformity
- Late August’s hot weather has impacted early growth and slowed the maturity of fields
- Growers in the Arizona desert region will begin harvesting in mid-October
