** NEW ** METHI– Supplies have started. Quality is very good. Supplies will increase into July.
PICKLING CUCUMBER– Pickling cucumbers continue with limited supply. Packed in ½ bushel boxes. Size 3’s and 4’s only. As a guide, size 3 measures 1.5” to 2” (38 mm to 51 mm) in diameter (medium dill). Size 4 measures greater than 2” inches (51 mm) in diameter (large dill). Size 1’s are gherkin size and size 2’s are baby dills.
ZUCCHINI– With ideal growing conditions, green, yellow and grey zucchini have started. Supplies are good. Cooler nights will slow production.
ENGLISH PEAS– The Ontario English pea (shelling peas) season continues with growing supplies. Packed in ½ bushel boxes and now full bushels. Quality is very good.
GARLIC SCAPES– Local garlic scapes, packed in 10lb bags. This curly, flavourful shoot of the garlic plant that shows up once a year and disappears before you know it. Milder than the bulb, sweeter when cooked. Available soon and not around for long.
Many farms now grow varieties that produce fruit into the late summer and even October, though the volume is lower than the June peak.
SWISS CHARD– Green, red and rainbow swiss chard continue with good supply, packed in 12ct cartons. Quality is excellent with good supplies.
COLLARDS / DANDELION – Both collards and dandelion continue, packed 12 bunches per case. Quality is outstanding.
CILANTRO / DILL – Cilantro and dill both are in good supply, quality is outstanding.
FIELD STRAWBERRIES– The Ontario field strawberry season is in peak production. Supplies are very good. Recent rains will contribute to a shorter shelf life. Sizing is good. There are 2 distinct seasons; the June bearing crop. This is the “classic” season everyone thinks of. It is short but intense, usually lasting only 3 to 5 weeks. After about a week to 10 day gap, the ever-bearing or day-neutral crop will start.
HOTHOUSE STRAWBERRIES– Very light supplies of Ontario hothouse strawberries continue with strong demand. Most supplies are going to retail programs. Quality is very good; however, berry size is on the smaller side.
ROMAINE- Romaine is in good supply. Demand is very strong due to high prices for imports. Quality is very good when compared to California. Expect good volume into July.
GREEN & RED LEAF LETTUCE– Both red and green leaf are available. Ontario product is packed 12ct. Supplies and quality are very good.
GREEN, RED AND BLACK KALE– Green kale continues with good supplies, packed 24ct. Black kale is also available packed 12ct; we should see red kale by the end of the week.
BUNCH RADISH– Bunch radishes continue with strong supplies. Quality is outstanding.
ASPARAGUS– The Ontario asparagus season continues with very strong supply and outstanding quality. Pricing is steady. Now is the time to feature asparagus. The season will run until early-July.
WAX TURNIP (RUTABEGA)- Rutabaga continues to ship out of storage with good supplies. Prices remain steady.
CARROT– The 2025 storage season is done. Strong demand from the US this year has helped deplete supplies earlier than usual. Heirloom multi colored supplies are steady, with supplies expected into June, with good quality.
HOTHOUSE TOMATOES– Hothouse tomato markets are sitting a bit stronger this week as supply out of Mexico has started to ease off. New crops are coming in the next couple of weeks, but until then there’s just not enough product to keep up with demand, and markets across the country are feeling that tightness. With Canada Day and July 4th right around the corner, we expect things to stay well supported and keep building into next week. Tomatoes on the vine markets have been in a bit of a slump coming out of last week, with strong local production putting some downward pressure on things as more supply hit the market all at once. This week though, supply has started to ease and movement has picked back up, we expect the market to tighten through the end of this week. Heirloom tomato markets picked up some good momentum early last week. Demand has been strong across the board and we are right in the middle of prime heirloom season, which is definitely driving the stronger than usual interest. Good production is expected for about another week before things start to slow down, and once that happens, we should see the market push higher heading into the end of the month.
HOTHOUSE SNACKING TOMATOES– Red grape tomato markets are still going strong. Production out of Mexico has been limited, which has kept things well supported for the past three weeks and supply has been moving consistently through the market. Medley and loose cherry tomato markets are still feeling some pressure from strong production. Movement has been slower than expected, which has kept supply ahead of demand and the market under pressure. Cherry on the vine markets are still pretty sluggish. There is a lot of production and a lot of supply out there, and the market is feeling soft across most regions. Lots of volumes for promotional activity. Cocktail tomato markets are in decent shape. Supply has been on the lighter side. Demand has been steady and the market is holding up reasonably well.
HOTHOUSE PEPPERS– Bell pepper markets are a bit stronger this week, but there’s still plenty of supply in the marketplace and the pipeline is still full. Yellows and oranges have seen a bit of a bump in demand compared to last week, which has helped move some of the extra volume. With the Canada Day and July 4th holidays coming up, we expect the market to keep building from here as seasonal demand picks up. Mini sweet peppers have tightened up in a big way. Demand has been strong and consistent while production out of Mexico has been extremely tight. That looks to continue for the next couple of weeks, so availability is going to stay limited in the short term.
ENGLISH CUCUMBERS– English cucumber markets are still on the softer side this week. Production is strong across growing regions and supply keeps building while demand stays at pretty normal seasonal levels. With more product out there than the market can absorb right now, things are staying under pressure and likely to remain that way in the near term. That said, there are some early signs that surplus is starting to clear, which could point to a bit of improvement heading into next week. Mini cucumber markets are in a similar spot. Production is steady and supply is easy to find, but demand has backed off a bit from recent weeks. Until the pipeline starts to thin out, this market is going to stay under pressure.
RHUBARB– Ontario field grown rhubarb continues. Supplies are very good, with pricing remaining steady as we get into peak production. Now is the time to pair Ontario rhubarb with Ontario strawberries!
STORAGE POTATO– Growers continue packing products out of storage. Supplies on reds are winding down. Yukon golds are done and yellow flesh are being utilized. Chef large #1 continue to be available.
MUSHROOMS– Supplies are good with no disruptions in supply expected.
CABBAGE– Growers continue packing green cabbage out of storage, while new crop is also available. Overall, green cabbage supplies are very good. New crop red and savoy cabbage is still a couple of weeks away from starting. Pricing is steady with good demand.
APPLES– Apples continue to be shipped out of storage. Supplies are dwindling. Gold Delicious, MacIntosh, Honeycrisp, Empire, Spartan, Cortland, Red Delicious, Ambrosia and Fuji are all still available with small sizes becoming scarce. Royal Galas are done for the season. Honeycrisp will be the next variety to finish. Quality continues to be very good.
HOTHOUSE LETTUCE– Supplies of baby lettuce are very good with very good quality and exceptional shelf life. Hydroponic boston/butter supplies are good.
TARIFF UPDATE
In mid-May 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce officially imposed preliminary countervailing duties (tariffs) on imports of fresh Canadian mushrooms (specifically white and portobello mushrooms). The decision has sparked a sharp dispute between U.S. producers, who argue the tariffs restore fair market competition, and Canadian growers, who call the investigation “deeply flawed” and protectionist. Duties applied are between 1.62% – 4.97%. The preliminary tariff rates went into effect on May 18, 2026, Canadian farmers are sounding the alarm that if these tariffs stick, the economic ripples will hit consumers and laborers on both sides of the border. Because Canadian growers export nearly 40% to 50% of their yield to the U.S., a prolonged tariff could force them to dump their supply back into the local Canadian market, crashing domestic prices and potentially triggering farm layoffs. Conversely, U.S. grocers and supply chains relying on steady West Coast imports from British Columbia may see tight supplies and higher retail / wholesale prices.
MARKETS TO WATCH: AT A GLANCE
Grapes: The Mexican grape deal in Nogales is nearly finished, with only limited inventory remaining as the transition to California begins. Red seedless production has started in the Central Valley and is expected to ramp up quickly over the next couple of weeks. The market is currently sharply higher compared to the end of the Mexican deal, but is expected to adjust as California volumes increase.
Potatoes: Prices continue to rise due to strong demand and limited storage supplies. We recommend ordering for quick turns and keeping inventory tight due to shorter shelf life.
Blueberries: A brief, unexpected supply gap is emerging in the blueberry market due to a combination of factors, including California heat disruptions, Mexico’s post-peak decline, and a slow start to the Pacific Northwest season. Shortages are expected until early next week; supply levels will slowly stabilize as the week progresses.
Cantaloupe: Growers are experiencing critically short supplies of cantaloupe. Value-added cantaloupe products are triggered. Some suppliers have issued Force Majeure on existing contracts.
Honeydew: Honeydew melon supplies are declining rapidly. While honeydew fields fared better than cantaloupe crops earlier in the season, the Mosaic virus has spread and now weakened plants; prices are escalating.
Clementine: Due the shortened California season, the import market is expected to be active until July, when supply volume ramps up out of Chile and South Africa.
Avocado: Overall supply conditions continue to improve this week. Harvest volumes in Mexico remain steady, with roughly two more weeks anticipated before the transition to Loca begins. Uneven ripening continues to be seen.
Lemons: Prices for all California lemon sizes remain elevated due to low volume and strong demand. In early July, both offshore and Mexican lemons will supplement California supplies. Expect high markets and limited stocks through June.
Iceberg: This market continues to strengthen. All value-added iceberg items are currently triggered, as yields continue to run below normal across multiple suppliers.
Romaine: The green leaf, romaine, and romaine heart markets are easing as volume rises.
Celery: The celery market is expected to remain steady to firm through the next two weeks.
Green Peppers: South Georgia production has declined over the last week as the season winds down and steady rains persist; markets are increasing quickly. California’s Bakersfield region is in mid-season for green peppers. Expect higher markets due to lower supplies on the East Coast.
Red Peppers: California desert’s volume remains steady as they harvest their final crops of the season; transition will occur in late June. Overall quality is good
Assorted Hot Chili Peppers: Supplies stable on most varieties. Decent volume is crossing from Mexico; Coachella and South Georgia are ramping up as well. Red Fresno chiles remain limited, but yields are expected to increase into next week.
Washington Apples: The storage crop is smaller than last year and therefore many varieties and packs are tighter than last year. As a result, we are seeing a rising market on many varieties, sizes, and packs, and this trend is expected to continue until the new crop starts in August. The most significant item that is down this year are Royal Gala apples. The latest storage report shows that inventory is down over 20% from last year. The other top varieties that are short this year are Honeycrisp, Red Delicious, Cosmic Crisp and Golden Delicious.
Bananas: Banana supply will continue to be tight over the coming weeks due to increased global demand and declining tropical production, exacerbated by virus pressure, low yields, and rising costs.
California Navel Oranges: California Navel oranges are heavily skewed toward larger sizes, with 56ct and 72ct dominating while smaller sizes 113ct and 138ct remain very limited and expected to stay tight through the end of the season and into the Valencia transition.
Brussels Sprouts: Quality is fair and supplies are limited. Growers are still combating insect pressure and internal browning. The weather in Mexico is warming up and that is also causing quality issues and reduced yields there as the season winds down. Production will begin in Salinas, California this week.
SUPPLY AND QUALITY GENERAL UPDATE
The California lettuce market remains one of the most challenging supply situations the industry has seen in years. Iceberg, romaine, and romaine hearts have all been under pressure for an extended stretch, with historically elevated markets lasting longer than normal. Harvestable yields across the Salinas Valley continue to be impacted by soil-borne disease, INSV pressure, and weather-related stress, which has reduced field productivity and kept carton availability below normal. While supplies remain tight across all lettuce categories, there are signs that romaine and romaine hearts have reached the peak of the market and are adjusting down. We expect these markets to begin a gradual correction over the coming weeks as supplies slowly improve. Romaine and romaine hearts remain limited, but some production is beginning to improve, which has created some downward movement in pricing. Even with these early signs of relief, demand continues to exceed available supply across much of the industry, and spot opportunities can still be difficult to secure.
The cantaloupe and now the honeydew market is moving through a major supply gap. The Yuma season started early due to above-normal temperatures during the growing cycle, but those same conditions allowed whitefly and virus pressure to build and spread through later fields. As a result, late acreage has seen lower yields, weaker plants, and a much smaller size profile. Jumbo fruit is essentially unavailable, 9ct fruit is extremely limited, and most of the remaining production is leaning toward 12s and 15s. Yuma is finishing earlier than expected, and California production is not expected to bring meaningful relief until early July. Lead time and size flexibility will be key to securing fruit.
Lemons remain elevated, but we are getting closer to relief as imports begin arriving in early July. District One has wrapped up, and District Two is carrying the bulk of production. With fewer growers in the district and strong demand still in place, all sizes remain tight, not just small fruit. Markets are expected to stay firm through the balance of June. Offshore lemons should help supplement domestic supply as we move into July, though early arrivals will likely lean toward larger fruit and carry strong pricing before broader relief develops.
Idaho russet potato supplies are tightening as storage quality becomes more of a concern. An unusually warm winter in Idaho has accelerated quality issues in storage, including pressure bruising, and pack-outs are declining faster than expected. This has reduced the amount of shippable product and is putting pressure on larger sizes in particular. Keeping inventories tight and turning product every one to two weeks will be important until new crop becomes available. Looking ahead, new crop potatoes are expected around early August, but there are concerns beyond the current storage season. Some acreage may shift into alternative crops, and Idaho water shortages could impact yields for the next years crop.
The good news is that we are starting to see some signs of relief as local / Quebec production continues to ramp up. Lead time, tighter inventory management, and flexibility on sizing and substitutions will be the biggest help in keeping orders covered as the industry works through these supply gaps.
Transportation Update
We are seeing better availability of trucks with strong markets predicted into the Canada Day and Fourth of July holidays. Shipper delays are still creating problems with on-time loading and transit.
The situation in the Strait of Hormuz is highly fluid, and it is causing significant volatility in oil markets. Over the last few days, oil futures tumbled to a three-month low (with Brent crude dropping to around $78–$80 a barrel) due to massive optimism surrounding a U.S.–Iran peace framework signed on June 17. Traders were pricing in a major de-escalation of the months-long maritime crisis. However, energy markets are on an absolute razor’s edge because Iran announced a renewed closure of the Strait over the weekend (June 20), claiming ceasefire violations in southern Lebanon. Despite Iran’s aggressive “renewed closure” rhetoric, oil futures have not skyrocketed back to their springtime highs just yet. We will be watching this situation closely.
In the USA, the diesel fuel US national average is now around $5.00 per gallon; a $0.35 reduction since June 1st. Expectations continue to be for prices to inch downward as the price of oil eases. The current national average is $5..059 per gallon. West Coast average prices last week were $6.71 per gallon, which is lower than previous highs. Diesel represents roughly 20–25% of total trucking cost per mile, making carriers highly sensitive to fuel spikes. Prices are expected to remain elevated until meaningful normalization of global oil flow occurs. Temporary fuel surcharges are in effect on most items and transportation lanes until oil prices normalize.
VEGETABLES
ICEBERG– This market continues to strengthen. All value-added iceberg items are currently triggered, as yields continue to run below normal across multiple suppliers. Salinas and Santa Maria, California: INSV and erratic weather conditions are contributing to issues such as misshapen heads, lighter weights, and some pink ribbing. Shortened shelf-life issues should be expected. The market is expected to stabilize over the next few weeks. Quebec: The season is shaping up nicely with ideal growing conditions. Fields are on schedule, with ideal growing conditions are forecast to continue. Iceberg volume is steady and quality is good. Volume will continue to increase into July.
ROMAINE / LEAF– The green leaf, romaine, and romaine heart markets are easing as volume rises. Salinas and Santa Maria, California: Romaine, romaine hearts and leaf items are expected to soften through the week, though conditions vary by shipper, resulting in wider price gaps in the market. All value-added leaf and romaine items are currently triggered. Yields are higher and markets will decrease into July. Reported quality issues include lighter weights, tip burn, and fringe burn. Quebec: Romaine and romaine heart production continues out of Quebec; volume will continue to increase steadily over the next several weeks. Expect regional programs across Canada to ramp up through the coming weeks, with peak production anticipated in July. Ontario: There are very good supplies of romaine as well as 12ct green and red leaf lettuce; quality is very good.
SPRING MIX/BABY SPINACH/BABY ARUGULA/BABY KALE– Supplies continue out of Salinas. Tender leaf items such as spinach and arugula remain in good supply. There is some minor insect damage; discoloration is being reported. Baby Kale: Baby kale supplies have returned to normal and are meeting demand with good quality. Arugula: Arugula quality is generally good as well, though some minor yellowing continues to be reported, typically limited to very few leaves per bag. Baby Spinach: Quality is good, but we continue to see occasional quality problems, including mildew and bruising. Spring Mix: Supplies and quality are okay.
GARLIC- Supplies from China, Mexico and California continue. China: New crop peeled garlic will begin to arrive in late July. Current old crop supplies have mixed quality. Supplies are moderate and pricing remains fairly steady, however, we should expect a sharp pricing increase with the new crop. North American: Mexican peeled garlic shipments will begin this week as California supplies continue to dwindle. New crop California harvest will begin in earnest in late July, early August. U.S. tariffs on Chinese garlic have shifted demand to Mexico and California.
CARROTS– West Coast carrot supplies are gradually improving. Limited availability is expected to continue through until late-June. California: Bakersfield spring production continues to increase. Smaller sizing continues to limit supplies and support elevated markets for jumbos, sticks, peeled baby and chips. Field conditions and peeled yields are improving, with more consistent supplies expected into July. By July, volumes should return to more normal levels as Kern County production ramps up under better growing conditions. Arizona: The season is nearing the end; quality is great. Mexico: Inconsistent production has been an issue. Expect moderately high pricing and strong demand until California production increases. Ontario / Québec: The storage season is finished. There still are supplies of storage heirloom carrots, which should continue until the end of June. Reminder that the new crop will be very slim.
CABBAGE– Ontario: Green cabbage supplies are good with very good quality being shipped out of storage as well as new crop starting. We can expect green cabbage to continue out of storage through July. The storage red and savoy cabbage season has ended and are being sourced from the USA. Imports: Georgia continues to have availability with the Carolinas up and running as well. Northern cabbage will start in about 7-10 days out of Michigan, Illinois, and Ohio. Quality and supply look to be good.
CANADIAN POTATO– Canada had a record 13.1% more potatoes from the 2025 crop in storage on June 1 than the same time last year. Most of the extra potatoes are in the Prairie Provinces, though supplies are also up in Quebec, British Columbia, and PEI. Stocks in New Brunswick and Ontario fell below 2025 holdings. Stocks intended for processing are up 14.1% from last year. Table potato inventories are up 13.0%. Canada’s May potato disappearance totaled 14.36 million cwt. That exceeded the 2025 pace by 10.1%. It nearly matched the three-year average usage rate. May disappearance increased, relative to the previous year, in Alberta, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Quebec, and British Columbia. On the other hand, usage fell short of last year’s pace in PEI and Ontario. May fresh potato disappearance fell 20.2% below last year’s movement. May processing potato disappearance exceeded year-earlier usage by 14.5%. Ontario: The province’s May potato disappearance fell 6.0%, short of year-earlier movement. Ontario’s June 1 stocks are down 17.1% from 2025 holdings. The stocks include fewer chip potatoes; less than the year-earlier inventory. May chip potato disappearance exceeded the 2025 pace. At last month’s disappearance rate, Ontario’s remaining chip potato inventory would be cleaned up by June 28. May table potato disappearance left the province with more table potatoes on June 1 than June 2025 stocks. At the May disappearance rate, those potatoes would last through July 11. P.E.I.: May disappearance was 9.6%, below the 2025 pace. That left the Island with 1% more potatoes in storage on June 1,2026 than June 1, 2025 stocks. PEI had 13.5% fewer processing potatoes in storage on June 1 than year-earlier holdings. It is PEI’s smallest June 1 raw-product supply since 2021. The remaining processing potato inventory would be cleaned up by August 28. Reports indicate that PEI also had a record amount of table potatoes in storage on June 1, which exceeded year-earlier stocks by 50.5%. At the May shipping rate, PEI’s table potatoes would last through the end of September. New Brunswick: May disappearance exceeded the 2025 pace by 10.9%. That left New Brunswick with 30.3% fewer potatoes in storage on June 1 than year-earlier holdings. Intended use data show inventory reductions in each category. The province’s processing potato disappearance was more than last year’s movement while New Brunswick had fewer processing potatoes left in storage on June 1.2026 from a year ago. If the accelerated May disappearance rate continues, those potatoes would be cleaned up by July 5. Growers also 44.2% fewer table potatoes in storage on June 1, 2026 than they held at the same time in 2025. Quebec: Quebec’s June 1 stocks exceeded the 2025 inventory by 4.2%. This year’s supply was drawn down 7.5% more during May than last year’s disappearance. The province’s May processing potato disappearance increased by 35.6%, relative to the previous year. It is Quebec’s largest May processing potato disappearance since 2018. That left fewer processing potatoes in storage on June 1 than the province held a year earlier. At the accelerated May disappearance rate, the remaining processing potato inventory would be cleaned up by August 1. Quebec’s June 1 table potato stocks were 27.2% higher than the year-earlier inventory. May table potato disappearance fell 22.2%, short of 2025 movement. At the May usage rate, the province’s table potato stocks would last through July 28. British Columbia: The province had more table potatoes left in storage on June 1 than year-earlier holdings. May disappearance was higher than the 2025 pace. Alberta: Alberta’s June 1 potato stocks exceeded the 2025 inventory by a record amount. May potato disappearance was 45.4% more than year-earlier movement. Intended use data show increased disappearance in all categories. Alberta’s May processing potato disappearance increased by 14.4% than last year’s usage. The processing sector had 45.6% more potatoes left in storage on June 1 than the year-earlier inventory. At the May usage rate, Alberta’s remaining processing potatoes would last through October 8.
US NEW CROP RED / WHITE / YELLOW POTATO- New crop yellow potato prices are elevated; supplies are limited. Red potato markets are holding steady. Upcoming crop transitions will cause market volatility, but quality will improve over the next couple of months. California: Red and yellow production continues out of Bakersfield. All sizes are available with good quality. The season will wind down in late June. Stockton supplies will start shipping in early July. Acreage is down this year. Expect tight supplies and high markets by late July. Red prices are steady; yellow markets are slightly higher. Arizona: Red and yellow supplies are sufficient. Reds are light pink. Minimal skinning is being reported. Markets are holding steady. Washington: Red and yellow yields are average. Late-season storage quality is fair, with reports of pressure bruising and lenticels. Pricing continues to rise. Florida: Harvesting will wrap up in Northern Florida next week; storage supplies will ship through mid-July. Yields are sufficient for both colors, but demand is active for yellows. Quality is good. Red color is light pink. Lenticels are occasional issues in yellow supplies. Markets are stable, but red prices may climb as the season winds down. Upcoming Regions: The North Carolina season will start in late June. Production will begin in Texas and Virginia in early July. Ontario will start late July, early August.
MUSHROOMS– Quality and supplies are very good with lighter demand. At this time, we do not see any supply issues.
SWEET POTATO– Sweet potato markets are slowly ricing. Lower yields along with unexpected surge in demand during January and February has suppliers keeping their remaining storage supplies tight. Prices are anticipated to climb over the summer months until new crop stocks are harvested in late August or early September. California: Remaining storage supplies are adequate. The quality is very good. Strong East Coast demand is pushing markets higher. Louisiana: Very limited supplies remain. New crop harvests will resume in September. Mississippi: Dry summer months reduced overall yields for winter and spring storage. Quality is good. Lower volume and strong demand will push prices higher. North Carolina: Unexpected demand in January and February has forced suppliers to keep remaining storage inventories tight. Quality is good. Markets are expected to increase over the next several months.
BEANS– Beans are done in Florida and have completely transitioned to South Georgia while California is seeing lighter supply. We are also seeing lighter crossing from Baja this week due to cooler weather ultimately putting upward pressure on the West Coast prices. Overall, the quality is good. Ontario is slated to start in about two weeks.
US CARTON BAKING POTATOES– Prices continue to rise due to strong demand and limited storage supplies. We recommend ordering for quick turns and keeping inventory tight due to shorter shelf life. Idaho: Norkotah storage supplies are expected to be depleted by late June. Burbank volume is slowly ramping up; small sizes dominate the crop. The gradual shift from Norkotahs to Burbanks will result in fewer 40ct through 80ct potatoes. Prices for smaller, 90ct through 120ct stocks are also rising from heavy retail demand. Pressure and shoulder bruising are being reported in late-season storage supplies, but overall quality remains strong; these issues (soft, external indents) result from constant contact with adjacent potatoes or the floor while raw product sits in storage piles. Markets are rising. Washington: Demand is strong for all sizes. Quality is good; minimal defects are being reported. Expect climbing prices. Colorado & Wisconsin: Active demand is limiting availability. Mixer volume is shipping for all sizes. Quality is good; pressure bruising is an occasional problem. Prices are rising in both regions
ASPARAGUS– The Ontario asparagus season is in its peak, with excellent supplies. It is time to promote! Availability is strong as warm weather and perfectly timed rain showers promotes growth. In 25+ degree weather, asparagus can grow 10 inches in 24 hours! Warm nights will bring on very strong volume. Pricing is at its lowest now with peak production; now is the time to feature asparagus. The season will run until early July. When the supply shifts back to Mexico and Peru for supply, asparagus prices are expected to trend higher. Import: The import asparagus market remains well supplied as Mexican and Peruvian production continues to exceed demand while Washington and Canadian seasons wind down; supplies are entering their final weeks, and as production declines, the market is expected to gradually strengthen. Looking ahead, Peru is expected to provide steady supplies through late summer, though weather concerns and reduced acreage could create supply challenges later in the year.
ASSORTED CHILI PEPPERS– Supplies are stable on most varieties. There is decent volume crossing from Mexico; Coachella, California and South Georgia are ramping up as well. Markets remain very short on Red Fresnos and Shishito. Red Fresnos remain limited, but yields are expected to increase soon.
FIELD PEPPERS– South Georgia production has declined over the last week as the season winds down and steady rains persist; markets are increasing quickly. California’s Bakersfield region is in mid-season for green peppers, while reds are expected to start at the end of June. Expect higher markets due to lower supplies on the East Coast. Green Pepper: East Coast: Production in South Georgia has slowed down, and harvesting has been delayed due to recent rains; pricing is rising. The current forecast predicts more rain this week, which will further postpone harvesting. The Georgia season will continue for a couple of weeks, but will be very limited due to recent weather. Quality is mixed. The North Carolina season has started its growing season, in a light way; quality is very good. California’s Bakersfield growing region has consistent production with good quality. West Coast: Demand for California pepper is rapidly rising. The Fresno and coastal regions are expected to start harvesting in mid-July. Central Mexico, the supply is due to new fields in the Coahuila growing region; quality is good. Red Pepper: West Coast: California desert’s volume remains steady as they harvest their final crops of the season; transition will occur in late June. Overall quality is good. Bakersfield will start with light volume at the end of June. East Coast: Stocks are limited in South Georgia. Canadian hothouse operations have consistent production and good quality.
CELERY– The celery market is expected to remain steady through the next couple of weeks. California: Supplies have improved modestly as production transitions further into California’s coastal regions. Overall availability is still not heavy enough to drive significant market relief. That being said, value-added celery items triggers have been removed; raw product pricing in some districts has softened slightly from prior highs. Quality is generally holding, though occasional condition concerns are still being reported. Overall, celery appears more stable than lettuce in the near term, but the market is still expected to remain firm with only gradual improvement. Quebec: The Quebec season is expected to start around July 10th. Michigan: The Michigan season will begin in early to mid-July.
CAULIFLOWER– Markets have stabilized as local/regional deals begin early, with volume building into early July. Salinas-Santa Maria: Supplies are steady with steady demand. Prices will gradually ease over the next couple of weeks as local/regional deals start. Supplies are meeting current demand. Quality ranges from average to good. Small-sized heads have been reported in some lots. Ontario/ Quebec: Local Ontario harvesting programs will begin in late June/early July.
SNOW PEAS / SUGAR SNAP PEAS– Supply of Guatemalan snow peas and sugar snaps have declined, with ongoing rainfall continuing to impact overall quality. Peruvian production remains limited, providing minimal supplemental volume to the market. Mexican snow pea and sugar snap production has concluded for the season. Supplies of Chinese sugar snaps and snow peas continues, with good supplies. Chinese quality is currently good. Markets may tighten if quality challenges persist in Guatemala.
FRENCH GREEN BEAN / BABY SQUASH / BABY PEELED TOP CARROTS– Production out of Guatemala has declined due to ongoing rainfall, resulting in more active market conditions. Despite the weather-related challenges, supply from Guatemala is meeting demand. French bean availability out of Mexico remains strong, helping support overall market supply.
EGGPLANT– Georgia supplies continue to build and are expected to improve over the next two weeks. Mexico and California remain extremely short with very limited availability. Markets are active but are expected to ease slightly as Georgia volume increases, creating potential promotional opportunities next week.
ONIONS– Fresh-run onions are available in Southern California, Northern California, and New Mexico. Expect steady pricing over the next 7-10 days. Washington: Red and white Washington onion storage supplies are finished; storage yellow onions will finish in the next 7-10 days. Growers are now transferring onions from California to fill orders as needed. Expect higher prices on onions until fresh-run harvests begin early August. California: Southern California harvests are finished; some suppliers will ship through early next week. Northern California harvests are continuing to ramp up. Supplies are dominated by jumbo and larger sizes; medium yellow onions are limited, commanding higher prices. Quality is good; fresh-run onions will exhibit higher moisture content, thinner skins, and overall shorter shelf life. We recommend ordering for quick turns. Expect steady pricing over the next 7-10 days; Expect medium yellow onions to remain elevated for the next one to two weeks. New Mexico: New Mexico’s fresh-run onion harvests are continuing; volume is steady. Supplies are dominated by Jumbo and larger sizes; medium yellow onions are limited, commanding higher prices. Quality is good; fresh-run onions will exhibit higher moisture content, thinner skins, and overall shorter shelf life. We recommend ordering for quick turns. Expect steady pricing over the next 7-10 days; expect medium yellow onions to remain elevated for the next one to two weeks. Georgia: Vidalia sweet onions are available; the season will run through early September. Quality ranges from good to excellent.
CORN– Volume in the Southeast remains solid as we move toward the Canada Day and 4th of July holiday pulls. In the west Brentwood, California is going strong; higher demand is putting upward pressure on the market and seeing a split between east and west pricing for certain this week. Quality is good out of all regions.
GREEN ONIONS– Green onion supplies continue to be steady, keeping markets steady. Quebec has also started with some good volume, priced slightly higher than imports. Overall demand remains steady. Quality is very good. Availability is expected to remain steady into next week.
BRUSSELS SPROUTS– Quality is fair and supplies are limited. Growers are still combating insect pressure and internal browning. The weather in Mexico is warming up and that is also causing quality issues and reduced yields there as the season winds down. Production will begin in Salinas, California this week. In the meantime, growers are holding to strict 10-week averages and are expecting the market to remain tight. Expect tight jumbo supplies through early July when the Salinas season is fully underway. Prices should remain fairly steady into July.
COLLARDS/CHARD/KALE– Collard and kale continue to be available out of Georgia and the Carolinas. Quality and supply are good. Northern regions; Ontario, Michigan, Illinois, and the Northeast have begun. Quality is excellent. Supply will continue ramping up as we move through June.
ZUCCHINI– Zucchini is now in a much better position, with steady production across Georgia and California and additional regional supply from North Carolina, New Jersey, Ontario and now Quebec. Quality is good overall. Markets have eased compared to prior weeks.
FRUIT
PEARS– The pear market is entering its typical seasonal phase as Anjou inventories gradually decline, with supplies expected to tighten further through June and prices edging up accordingly. New-crop California Bartletts are anticipated to arrive in late June or early July, weather permitting, which should help ease pressure on remaining Washington supplies. Washington Bosc pears are finished for the season, and Red Anjous are nearly gone, with only limited inventories still available. Washington’s new crop Bartletts begin in early August. There are now new-crop imported Bartletts, Aniou, Abate and Bosc are all available from Argentina in good supply. Pricing and quality are both attractive and we expect them to remain promotable for the next several months. Overall, the pear category will be very promotable the next couple of months.
GRAPEFRUIT– California: Star Ruby and Red Flame varieties are currently being harvested. No major quality concerns are reported, and supply is strong across all sizes. Offshore: There are arrivals of grapefruit from South Africa, Turkey, Morocco and Israel. Overall quality is good.
MANGO– Mangoes are currently arriving from Mexico with limited volumes from Brazil, offering availability across key varieties including Tommy Atkins, Kent, and Ataulfo (Honey). Industry demand is strong, and overall pricing is increasing. Market conditions are currently tight as production in Oaxaca and Michoacán winds down, resulting in lower available volumes and declining fruit quality. Supply from Sinaloa is not yet shipping sufficient volume to fully offset this gap, contributing to upward pressure on pricing. Smaller fruit sizes remain the most limited in availability, while larger sizes are also constrained but somewhat more accessible. These conditions are expected to persist in the near term. Early estimates for the 2026 Sinaloa crop suggest production may be lower year over year, depending on the variety, which is expected to support higher-than-average pricing in July.6 With overall supply remaining lighter, the size distribution is anticipated to skew toward larger fruit this season. As a result, the industry does not currently recommend promotional activity until at least July, when supply levels are expected to become more consistent.
BLUEBERRIES– A brief, unexpected supply gap is emerging in the blueberry market due to a combination of factors, including California heat disruptions, Mexico’s post-peak decline, and a slow start to the Pacific Northwest season. Shortages are expected until early next week; supply levels will slowly stabilize as the week progresses. North Carolina: Volume is falling rapidly; the season is ending this week. Quality is good; some early breakdown has been reported. Expect elevated prices for the rest of the season. New Jersey: Abnormally low temperatures have delayed the season by three weeks. Growers expect up to 50% damage caused by the freezing weather. High markets are anticipated for the entire season; stocks are scarce. Mexico: Supplies are tightening; production is light. Quality is good; some early breakdown has been reported. Prices are elevated. California: The season has ended. Pacific Northwest: Limited new crop harvesting has begun this week. Expect yields to increase as the season progresses. Quality is good. Prices will begin at high levels, then inch down as supplies increase.
BLACKBERRIES– Central Mexico production remains lower, while California’s Central Coast is beginning to see improved volumes following last week’s warmer weather. Markets remain steady overall, with prices trending modestly higher across most shippers.
RASPBERRIES– Central Mexico volumes continue to be on the decline, while California production is beginning to increase as warmer temperatures support improved harvests. Markets remain firm, with prices expected to trend higher heading into the weekend.
STRAWBERRIES– Demand remains soft, but recent warm weather has significantly improved yields and increased available supplies. With schools out for the summer and other seasonal fruits gaining retail shelf space, strawberry movement has slowed, prompting some shippers to offer volume incentives to stimulate demand. Strawberries remain highly promotable, and overall quality has been strong across all growing regions. However, if overnight temperatures continue to stay above 60°F, softer fruit may become more common in the coming weeks.
AVOCADO– Overall supply conditions continue to improve this week. Harvest volumes in Mexico remain steady, with roughly two more weeks anticipated before the transition to Loca begins. Sizing is currently focused on large and jumbo fruit as the season approaches its end, while smaller sizes are less available. The industry expects a shift in sizing in early July as more Loca harvests begin, with ample supply of medium and small sizes anticipated, and large and jumbo fruit expected to become more limited. California production remains strong, with steady field pricing supporting harvest activity. The size curve is currently peaking on 48ct and 60ct, and additional availability on jumbo sizes continues to be an option. Offshore supply continues to increase, with additional arrivals from Peru this week. Peak import volumes from Peru are expected by early July, with availability anticipated on large and jumbo sizes throughout the summer. Mexico– A 49.8-million-pound harvest was reported last week. The Main Crop is averaging 36.6% dry matter, and sizing continues to peak on 48s. As the Main Crop wraps up, the region continues to see a significant percentage of grade 2 fruit. Only 0.5% of last week’s harvest was Off-Bloom/Flor Loca. However, the size curve on the initial harvest is currently trending toward smaller fruit. As the season progresses, sizing is expected to continue to increase. California– California harvest volume for last week was reported at 19.3 million pounds. Dry matter is averaging 28%, and the current size curve is peaking on 48s and 60s. Growers across California are actively harvesting to help offset reduced shipments from Mexico. With the United States approaching its 250th anniversary this Fourth of July, the industry anticipates increased avocado demand associated with the holiday. Fruit quality is reported to be strong, with excellent shelf life. Colombia– Colombia has transitioned to the Traviesa crop, with sizing primarily concentrated on medium and small fruit. Overall export volumes are limited during this period, with the majority of shipments directed to Europe and smaller volumes arriving in the United States market. Peru– Peru is currently in the peak harvest period of the season, with over 13 million pounds expected to arrive in the United States this week. Available supply remains concentrated on medium to large fruit sizes, and arrivals are generally reported to be in good condition.
GRAPES– The Mexican deal in Nogales is nearly finished, with only limited inventory remaining as the transition to California begins. Red seedless production has started in the Central Valley and is expected to ramp up quickly over the next couple of weeks. The market is currently sharply higher compared to the end of the Mexican deal, but is expected to adjust as California volumes increase. Some California green varieties are also expected to begin later this week. The California grape season will be fully underway in July and is expected to carry through at least the end of October, and potentially beyond late November.
CANTALOUPE– Growers are experiencing critically short supplies of cantaloupe. Value-added cantaloupe products are triggered. Some suppliers have issued Force Majeure on existing contracts. Arizona-California Desert Region: A warm winter increased spring insect pressure, which has weakened plants. Cantaloupe harvesting will remain minimal for the next 7-10 days. Large sizes, nine- and jumbo nine-counts, are extremely, extremely limited. 15-count and smaller sizes are still available but will continue to tighten into next week. Prices will escalate until supply meets demand in July. San Joaquin Valley, California: Harvests are expected to start this week. Production will gradually increase through the week of June 29. Large sizes, nine- and jumbo nine-counts, will be available.
HONEYDEW– Honeydew melon supplies are declining rapidly. Arizona-California Desert Region: While honeydew fields fared better than cantaloupe crops earlier in the season, the Mosaic virus has spread and now weakened plants. Production has ended; suppliers are working through remaining inventory to fill orders next week. Demand for all sizes greatly exceeds available supply. Until the transition into the San Joaquin Valley, markets will climb. Mexico: The import season will end over the next two weeks. Current supplies are sporadic with minimal availability. Expect inconsistent availability and low overall volume. San Joaquin Valley, California: Harvesting will begin in a limited manner the week of June 29 and will ramp up after July 4th. Markets will remain elevated initially due to strong demand. No supply issues are predicted once the San Joaquin Valley season begins.
ORANGES– California Navel: The crop remains heavy on large, choice-grade fruit, with peak supply on 56/48/72 counts. Smaller sizes 88/113/138 counts will remain limited through the end of the Navel season. As overall quality begins to show some pressure and supply winds down, growers with late lane navels are actively harvesting. These late-season navels are expected to support supply through most of June at a premium. Most growers will finish with Navels in June, with some larger growers extending into July. California Valencia’s: Harvests have slowed following the conclusion of school program demand. Production is expected to ramp back up as navel volume winds down later this month. Smaller sizes (113/138 counts) remain tight and continue to command a premium, as the broader orange market is short on these sizes. Overall sizing is expected to skew larger this season, similar to the early navel crop. Florida Juice Oranges: Valencia season is finished with active harvests, with few growers offering storage fruit that should clean up over the next few weeks. Imports: The Moroccan late-navel season continues with a fair supply of top quality fruit. The late season Navels from Morocco will continue until the end of their season in June, when South African Navels will start their season. Additionally, there is also a good supply of Egyptian Valencia’s in the marketplace priced considerably lower than Navels.
BLOOD ORANGE– The California season has ended. Offshore product will be sporadically available until California starts again, late December.
CARA CARA– The California season has ended. Offshore product will be sporadically available until California starts again, late December.
LIMES– Lime prices continue to soften, though summer demand is expected to help stabilize the market in the coming weeks. Small sizes remain abundant and under the most pricing pressure, while larger fruit is more limited and continues to command premium pricing. Mexico will be the primary summer supplier, with weather and upcoming rainfall closely monitored for potential impacts on quality, sizing, and harvest activity.
POMEGRANATE– Supplies of offshore fruit continue to arrive from Peru with excellent supply. Quality has been good. Please remember, imported case sizing is 8lbs (8-12ct) while California ships 22lb cases (40-44ct).
LEMONS– The lemon market remains elevated due to limited availability and sustained strong demand, with supplies expected to stay extremely tight through June, keeping prices firm. California: The District 1 season has wrapped up, leaving District 2 as the primary production region. Markets remain active, driven by strong demand and limited supply. District 2 fruit is predominantly choice grade, with peak sizing in 75/95 counts; smaller sizes remain tight. Market conditions are expected to stay firm into the summer import season. Offshore: Argentinian lemons have begun arriving, with a large portion already committed to contracts. Early-season fruit quality is fair, with some expected greening. Chilean fruit is anticipated to arrive mid-June. The import season is projected to mirror last year—limited availability and a competitive market. Continued demand from global markets is constraining supply, reducing export volumes to North America.
CHERRIES– The Pacific Northwest cherry season is in full gear, with excellent quality and supply. Pacific Northwest: The season has started with strong supplies. Pacific Northwest cherry volumes will build steadily through June and growers expect to have promotable volumes with the major shipping peaks hitting between June 18th–25th, and a second big wave coming during the second week of July. The harvest is expected to run all the way into early August. The Chelan variety is the first to start. The much sought after Bing and Rainier (white) cherries will start late June and run through July. Prices will start high due to minimal supplies. Michigan: This season is expected to start the week of July 6. Cooler weather is being mitigated by watering fields and using fans to keep frost damage to a minimum. Markets will start off elevated but slowly decline as volume increases. The season will run through August.
STONE FRUIT– West Coast: California stone fruit continues to be in full production, with better peach, plum, and nectarine varieties already available. The Apricot season has ended. Pluots have started with additional varieties following soon. East: The Georgia peach season has officially started with good supplies. The peak in June and July “Freestone” varieties take over (the pit pops right out easily), and the peaches reach their absolute maximum sweetness and juiciness. The season will wind down early-to-Mid August as the final late-summer varieties are harvested.
MANDARIN / CLEMENTINE– Due the shortened California season, the import market is expected to be active until July, when supply volume ramps up out of Chile and South Africa. California: Earlier weather impacts on the crop has led to a shorter season. The season has effectively concluded for most growers, with remaining fruit showing softness and a shorter shelf life. Supply is tight, and markets will remain active as the season concludes over the next week. Imports Southern Hemisphere: Limited volumes from Uruguay, Peru, Argentina and Chile are now available, primarily clementine and primosole varieties. Initial arrivals from South Africa are expected this week.
BANANAS– Banana supplies are stable, meeting lower demand due to schools winding down. However, supplies will be tight over the coming weeks due to increased global demand and declining tropical production, exacerbated by virus pressure, low yields, and rising costs. A combination of virus pressure, low yields, and increasing production costs has placed significant strain on this staple commodity. Overall, banana quality remains very good.
GOLD PINEAPPLES– The pineapple market remains stable, though supplies are tight and expected to stay that way through the end of June. Contract business continues to be prioritized. Larger sizes should gradually improve into July. 6ct and 7ct fruit supplies are increasing, while 8ct remains steady. Crownless 8ct and 10ct pineapples remain limited. Costa Rica: Supply is stable out of Costa Rica with good volumes still expected for the balance of June with the natural peak currently on its way with a significant reduction in volume coming for August. Mexico: There is some volume being exported out of Mexico with growers holding back significant quantities of fruit to avoid the low market. Some growers report yields of exportable fruit coming down as the summer gets closer and some growers prepare for the seasonal gap. Fruit quality is good with slightly lower brix and with some availability in the market. Transportation out of Mexico continues to struggle due to high fuel costs and mango shippers still pulling more trucks away from other commodities.
WATERMELON– The market has tightened up some due to lack of product on the west coast, forcing the Southeast to handle all the demand. The Canada Day and Fourth of July holidays will put upward pressure on demand and pricing. The increased pricing will linger into mid-July. The quality in Georgia and Florida have both been good.
APPLES– Demand is higher for Washington Royal Gala apples as the Michigan and New York seasons wind down; prices are rising. Demand is strong for Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia. Ontario: Demand for Royal Gala has been strong; packers are sourcing produce from Quebec to supplement supplies; even so, supplies will run out by the end of June. Overall, storage supplies continue to thin out, with larger sizes having better availability. Honeycrisp continues to see high demand; however, because this variety is more temperamental in long-term storage, volumes typically begin to drop off more sharply. Ambrosia is established as a staple variety with significant storage volume available into late June. McIntosh, Empire and Red Delicious volumes continue to decline as growers replace older orchards with high-density plantings of the varieties listed above. Prices are rising as supplies dwindle. Washington: We are now in the heart of the storage crop season and the early stages of the import season. The storage crop is smaller than last year and therefore many varieties and packs are tighter than last year. As a result, we are seeing a rising market on many varieties, sizes, and packs, and this trend is expected to continue until the new crop starts in August. The most significant item that is down this year is Royal Gala apples. The latest storage report shows that inventory is down over 20% from last year. This item has really tightened up in the last couple of months, and prices are very high for this time of year. Expect Gala availability and pricing to continue to be tight as there is no relief in sight. The other top varieties that are short this year are Honeycrisp, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious and Cosmic Crisp. Overall, we are left with a smaller crop than expected and rising prices. Import apples will give some relief as we begin to get steadily increasing supplies each week. Although we don’t expect the import crop to lower prices, we are hoping that it stabilizes prices over the next couple of months. The new crop starts in a small way on limited varieties in August
MATURE GREEN FIELD TOMATOES– Tomato supplies remain generally adequate as production transitions across both eastern and western growing regions. In the East, volume has transitioned from Central Florida into South Carolina and other summer areas, while in the West, production is moving from Sinaloa into Baja, Central Mexico, and California. Despite some lighter supplies and minor quality issues in select regions, increasing output from newer growing areas is expected to keep availability stable into July and into the summer season. Rounds– East Coast: South Carolina, Florida Panhandle and South Georgia are in full production. Quality is very good. Tennessee and Virginia will begin production around July 10th. Markets will remain steady over the next few weeks. Mexico: The Baja Peninsula has steady moderate production on their new fields, quality is nice. Central Mexico has light volume crossing in South Texas. California: The San Joaquin Valley is in good production, more volume to follow over the week to next ten days as more growers come online. Crops look amazing. We can expect a great California season on mature greens. Romas– East Coast: Similar to rounds, South Carolina, Florida Panhandle and South Georgia are in full production. Quality is very good. Tennessee and Virginia will begin production around July 10th. Markets will remain steady over the next few weeks. Mexico: There are improving supplies and quality out of Jalisco and Baja. We expect this trend to continue and get back to a stable market over the next 7 to 10 days. Quality is outstanding. The Baja Peninsula is underway as well with very nice quality; larger sizes are most prevalent. California: Production continues with more growers expected this week. Quality is very good. Prices are steady to lower. Grape and Cherry– East Coast: There is light production in South Carolina, Florida Panhandle and South Georgia as growers transition. Quality is good. Tennessee and Virginia production will start in July. Markets will start to ease as supplies increase and will fall further into July. Mexico: Grape Tomato supply will improve this week crossing through Nogales and McAllen. Grape Medley and Cherry tomatoes will remain very short. Quality on what is crossing is good.
