Weather Update

A low pressure system from the Gulf of Alaska currently approaching California will bring rain and strong winds to much of the state beginning on Tuesday. Powerful winds (20-40mph) are once again expected in California and the desert regions as this system rolls through. Most of the rain will remain north of Southern California and the desert regions however a very cold air mass behind this system will likely bring freezing temperatures to California's inland valleys and the desert regions the latter half of the week. Cooler temperatures expected in Northern Mexico and Baja mid-week as this system passes to the north as another tropical depression forms off the Southwestern coast of Mexico. This system currently looks to impact Southwestern Mexico late this week into the weekend. The track the system takes remains tricky and will have to closely followed over the next few days.
Cold mornings are on tap for Carolina's and Georgia early this week as the cold front moves out of the region today with gradual warming through the week. Florida will see mostly dry conditions through the week under a strengthening high pressure system.

Freight Update

California trucks remain steady but will be extremely tight on Friday after the Thanksgiving holiday. Washington and Idaho trucks are steady today but will be extremely tight as the week progresses. The National average remained steady and is now $2.445 per gallon. A difference of $1.183 from this time last year. California prices are steady as well and are currently at 2.733 per gallon. Crude oil remains steady and is at $41.85 per barrel.

The market is strong and following the strong market out here on the West Coast with Mexican Asparagus. The Mexican Asparagus market remain strong with sizing steady on Standard and Small. Large, Extra Large, and Jumbo supplies remain short on both coasts. However quality has been good with arrivals.

Mexican shipments to the U.S. was up last week, and should hold steady for the next several weeks. The pipeline to the forward warehouse have been filled. We are seeing a more normal range of sizes, peaking on 40s/48s, but availability on 60s/70s continues to be an issue. This new crop fruit is lower in maturity and will take longer to ripen and not darken as much when ripen. Ripe fruit could still be green in color as the skin isn't mature enough for it to darken. Color is not an indication of ripeness, pressure is.

Broccoli Alert

The broccoli market is demand exceeds very limited supplies. The Salinas region is finishing; with insufficient supplies coming in the Yuma deal to meet demand. Santa Maria continues to struggle with quality issues (pin rot, yellow bead). These quality issues have reduced supplies in Santa Maria to a fraction of "normal". The Mexican deal is also struggling for supplies. This situation looks to continue for the next several weeks. Most shippers are indicating an improvement in supplies out of the desert around the third week of December.

Brussels Sprouts Alert

Brussel Sprouts still remain extremely short in supply. The warm weather experienced during the summer have really taken its toll on the growing conditions of the Brussel Sprouts. They require cool night time temperatures in an optimal summer environment. This produced erratic sizing as well as finishing up to 2-3 weeks earlier than a normal year. Look for supplies to remain the same for the rest of November and all of December.

Cauliflower Alert

The cauliflower market is in an extreme demand exceeds supply situation. Weather related issues have resulted in the early finish of the Salinas deal with no supplies to go to. This "growing gap" will continue for the next several weeks as many of our main stay shippers are unable to harvest. The desert regions should begin to trickle in with some supplies in about 2 weeks. Even then we will see little relief as supplies will ramp up slowly at first.

Celery Alert

The celery market continues to be strong with light supplies (especially on larger celery) and good demand. The Salinas deal is nearly done with Oxnard moving into the main as the number one supply area. The celery deal in Oxnard is losing volume to the Fusarium Wilt outbreak brought on by the warmer than normal summer temperatures. Fusarium is a soil borne pathogen that becomes more active with high temperatures. The Fusarium causes the plant to wilt and die if left in the ground too long when exposed. Hence, many shippers are harvesting earlier and sizing is running smaller. While not dangerous to people this pathogen can severely limit available inventories. Many shippers have reported early harvests off by as much as 50%. This situation should improve as we move into the cooler winter months. The outlook through December is for a strong market with only average supplies to meet an expected good holiday demand.

This crop is producing a larger proportion of fancy grade and is peaking on 140s and larger fruit, which is in good availability with market easing off a bit, but still leaving us in a demand exceed supplies on 165s and smaller fruit.

Grapes (Green) Alert

The green seedless grape market is stronger with fair to good quality on limited supplies. Many shippers are declaring an early finish to their storage crop and a need to buy from other suppliers to cover their orders. This portends an ever stronger market as the Peruvian grapes are only beginning to arrive on the East Coast. While quality on the early Peruvian's is reported as good; supplies are not enough to offset the declining domestic inventories. We expect to see a strong market through the month of December. Our next transition on supply will be the Chilean deal which should begin to trickle in about mid-December with good volume expect about mid-January.

Grapes (Red) Alert

The red seedless grape market is strengthening. Quality on the Crimson seedless is dropping. We have excellent sugar (high Brix) but color on most lots is only 75%. This, along with excessive shatter and some mold and decay (due to the recent rain events) is driving the market upward. We now have Peruvian Flames showing up on the East Coast but these are being priced at an extreme premium as compared to the domestic market. This market looks to continue to be strong until we see good volume on the import side. Likely there will be little easing in the near future as the Chilean deal provides our next round of good volume. The Chileans will show up in December but will not have the volume to be a factor until mid- January.
