Market conditions on fresh produce are constantly changing. Click below for the lastest market update from PRO*ACT and the Hardie's buying team. Hardie's Buyer Notes:
CAULIFLOWER - Supplies are tightening up this week. The cooler weather in Salinas and Santa Maria is causing slower growth keeping the fields behind schedule.
ROMAINE - Escalating again due to the same weather pattern slowing growth
HOT PEPPERS - Market heating up due to weather in the growing regions of Mexico earlier this season has caused a supply gap and production has significantly fallen causing prices to rise on all varieties.
Anticipate increase in supply from Central FL within 7-10 days
MX chili pepper volume has fallen; Sinaloa is on their seasonal decline
Expectation: High markets over the next 4-6 weeks, as we transition to new growing regions of Chihuahua and Baja.
