Dear Ole Tyme Customers:
UPDATE: The heat over the last few weeks in the Mexicali area is starting to cause quality and supply issues on Green Onions.
Expectations
- The increased heat in Mexico has caused plants to just stop growing.
- The Green Onions that are growing are maturing too quickly and are leading to various quality issues (crooked shanks/excess peeling around the root) causing lower yields.
- The heat/ground temps have kept the production season ahead of schedule and now a supply gap has started.
- The market will be going up as we move through this gap in supplies.
- Product grown in this sort of heat tends to break down quicker post-harvest.
- Expect supplies to be tight the next 3-4 weeks.
If you have any questions, please reach out to your Sales Representative.
Thanks,
Ole Tyme Produce
