Good Morning! Asparagus – Mexican fields started slower than expected this season due to low temperatures and cloudy weather, keeping volumes below projections—until now. The good news? Better weather is on the way this week, which should stimulate the fields and lead to stronger volume next week! Broccoli – Is coming from multiple areas now and pricing is very favorable and reflecting the strong supplies. Citrus – California is having a solid season, and quality and volumes have been very good. Prices remain very favorable. Eggs – Extremely limited production due to Avian Flu and the flock kills that were required to combat it are keeping egg prices at their highest levels in memory. Over 41,000,000 birds have been killed in December and January alone, not to mention the months before those. Expectations are for eggs to remain extremely limited for the foreseeable future. Grapes – After months of tight supplies, the dam has been busted. Importers are looking to sell fruit and it’s backing up on them at the ports. Quality is great and prices reflect the oversupply. Greens – Supplies on all eastern greens are better as we’re past the worst of the cold weather. Greens like it cold, but not too cold, as that discolors the leaves. Melons and Pineapples- Supplies are catching up to demand on melons, and pricing is much more favorable. Availability is much stronger than we saw in January. Onions – Mexico has begun their new crop and supplies and quality are much improved. Prices are currently about as low as we ever see them and they’re beautiful. Strawberries- Florida is growing plenty of berries and the weather has cooperated very well with them. California fields had some rains last week, slowing production, but nothing that Florida couldn’t overcome. Supplies are good overall. Q: Where do evil rainbows go? A: To prism. It’s a light sentence, but gives them time to reflect.
