MARKET OPPORTUNITIES
LOCALLY GROWN PRODUCE The local season is here for the summer in most parts of the country. Be sure to look at the regional recommendations in A Peek at Peak Seasons on page two.
LEMONS Extreme heat in the western growing regions for citrus has caused a shortage of all sizes of Lemons that is expected to last for several weeks. Orders may be shorted or substituted with a different size or grade, pricing may be higher than normal in certain markets, and quality is fair. The best values will be 140 CT, 165 CT and 200 CT choice-grade product, where available.
AVOCADOS Supplies are decreasing rapidly, due to California’s heat wave earlier in the month, and crop transition in Mexico. Pricing is higher than normal, but quality is still good. #2-grade, 48 CT and 60 CT Avocados are the best value, and are Compass’ preferred specification.
STRAWBERRIES Quality is improved, but heat-related issues such as softness, bruising and short shelf life are still being reported. Blackberries and Raspberries are better quality options.
EASTERN VEGETABLES Quality of Summer Squash, Cucumbers and Eggplant in the eastern half of the U.S. is fair to poor, due to prolonged, heavy rains on the East Coast. Pitting, decay and short shelf life are all reported. Pricing is good.
ORANGES Supplies of 138 CT and smaller Oranges are limited, and will continue to be through the end of the Valencia season in autumn. Use 113 CT and larger where possible. “Re-greening”, which is a heat-related greenish tinge to the exterior of fully ripened fruit, is being reported.
