Commodity Updates
BLUEBERRIES
Supplies came to a sudden halt last week. The weather caused the Floridian season to end abruptly. Georgia has had light harvest with on and off rain, California is very slow to get started with minimal harvest, and Mexico is winding down. All of this led to an industry-wide supply gap. Demand continues
to far exceed supply this week as we wait for California's production to increase.
BRUSSELS SPROUTS
Volume from Mexico is decreasing and Oxnard, CA will not have the supplies to fill the void. We will see an upward trend in the market until July when the Salinas Valley starts. Quality is still really nice.
CAULIFLOWER
Cauliflower supplies are increasing and the market is trending lower. Quality has been nice through this small supply gap.
CANTALOUPE
Excellent quality, high sugar levels.
GRAPES
The Chilean grape season finished up. Californian Red Grapes are now available, and Californian White Grapes are just starting up.
STRAWBERRIES
California Harvests are in their first seasonal peak.
Supply exceeds demand; pricing is good. Quality is excellent.
