We are hearing that water shortages are affecting 75% of the mango growing areas in Peru. This will lead to lower overall volumes out of Peru and the small sizes (12/14s), will be especially short. We anticipate pricing to be $6 and higher for the season. Weekly promotional opportunities are unlikely.

Following the discovery of the European grapevine moth, the USDA/PPQ created a federal order that ultimately put a halt to all vessel fruit out of three of the largest berry growing regions in Chile (about 80% total volumes to the U.S.). The federal order mandates that all blueberries grown in regions 6, 7, and 8 be fumigated before export to the U.S. Any fruit from other growing regions is subject to strenuous inspections both upon shipping and arrival, so delays are expected.
