Honeydew

Mon, March 2nd, 2026

Dear Ole Tyme Customers:

Honeydew supplies are projected to remain in a demand‑exceeds‑supply position in the short term due to ongoing production challenges across key growing regions.

Key Market Drivers

  • Offshore Production: Overall offshore honeydew volume is limited as wet, cooler weather continues to hinder growth. Additionally, Downy Mildew pressure is impacting offshore fields, further reducing yields.
  • Sizing Flexibility: Shippers may require flexibility on sizing at the time of loading due to inconsistent field sizes.
  • Market Dews: These may be sold only in conjunction with market cantaloupes.
  • Mexico: Mexican honeydews are being sold at market price on a FCFS (first‑come, first‑served) basis.

Market Outlook:
Expect tight availability through mid‑March.

If you have any questions, please reach out to your Sales Representative.

Thanks,

Ole Tyme Produce
